Windows Processor Numbers are Odd

I got observium working almost exactly how I want it, but I have an issue with Windows cpu numbers. The graph looks fine (I think), but the numbers are weird. The max numbers look like a percentage, but the now and Avg show odd things like 640.5m I have no idea what that means. Also, the processor is never identified properly.
I would happily change to wmi for Windows devices, but I'm not sure how that is done, or if it is stable.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with wmi and observium?
Thanks!

Hi Don,
I used this guide to get wmi-polling for our Windows hosts.

Works very well. About your max-numbers, I’ve got no clue, it’s working fine for me.

643m means 0.643

Hi Don,
Windows literally sends "Unknown Processor Type" over SNMP, so that's what turns up. The values are the same as for any other graph, using averaged 5min data with SI units.
WMI for CPUs works - WMI support is somewhat in limbo but I'll try to keep things working (I use it myself).
