Issue with powertop

[Abhi G]

Dear Sir,
I have installed powertop on a linux server. In the overview section it is showing me Usage, Events/s, Category and Description but i am not able to see the power section which gives the power consumption in watts for each process running on the system as i have seen in some snapshots available on the different websites. So should i use special configuration or supporting flags for that?

that feature depends on the presence of a battery or power meter. Most
likely your server has neither.
