Check_load

[Sandeep Narasimha Murthy]

Hello,

 

Can anyone please provide a brief idea on how check_load works and on
the data it provides. The data provided is in the format load average:
1.62, 1.67, 1.74, which doesn't make a lot of sense. I googled on this
and ended up getting even more confused.

 

The reason behind my question is that we are also using CACTI for
monitoring the systems and it shows a 100% CPU load since last night
while Nagios didn't raise any alarm at all. I have to find out whether
it was a false alarm or there is a problem with my Nagios setup ..

 

Thanks a lot in adv,

 

sg
