How to get cpu cores utilizations in xen?

I have installed xen as hypervisor and there are dom0 and some paravirtualized machins as domu VMs on it.
I know xentop is used for checking the performance of system and virtual machines and I can read the output of it for measuring the virtual machine cpu utilization, But, it just gives the total usage of cpus!
So, is there any tool or any way to get cpu usages per cores?

I think you may be able to get what you want from XenMon. http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php/Xen_Monitoring_Tools_and_Techniques

Also, try using xentop with the VCPUs option: -v or press V when inside xentop.

If you are using XenServer, then there are lots of interesting host metrics available, much more than the base Xen setup. Check out http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/38321-102-714737/XenServer-6.5.0_Administrators%20Guide.pdf, Chapter 9.

It's all particularly good if you use XenCenter to view those metrics, but then I would say that since I wrote a significant portion of it ;-)
