Pct busy of each type of processor on system summary report

Cust is running 2 zVM systems. One as a IFL only zVM system, the other one with CPs and ZIIPs in addition in a VM mode LPAR. Each zVM has 5 IFLs which are highly used. We use system summary (panel 35 from menu) from perfkit for "system health monitoring". We create real time graphs by using the "Pct busy" column from that panel. For the "VM mode" system, this value don't show the "truth" because it is calculated by using all types of processors and the CPs and ZIIPs are low utilized. We need additional colums showing the pct busy value separated by procressor type.
