IT Essentials Work infrastructure overview - Windows entities overview CPU utilization shows N/A?

I'ved been having issues with getting "CPU utilization" to up on the Windows infrastructure dashboard.  I found that when i click on the Windows entities and move onto a single windows machine itself i see all pertinent data for CPU utilization, but for some reason i cannot get it to show on the dashboards as a graph.   

I have it set as the key indicator on the overview dashboard, it shows nothing, whereas the other key values show data (memory, network, and disk utilization).

key info

- 4 windows hosts (all same issue, shows N/A for CPU utilization)

- i have manipulated the search job schedule 

- entity discovery search is enabled, and manipulated the savedsearches.conf, gave it more time.

- set correct Index in macros in SA-ITOA

- checked on the _meta field in the windows stanza and the entity_type::windows_host is all there. 

- perfmon::CPU is all there.

So its weird why i am getting N/A for cpu utilization on the windows entity overview page and the infrastructure overview dashboard. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
