brief idea on how check_load works and on the data it provides. The data
provided is in the format <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>load average: 1.62,
1.67, 1.74, </span></b>which doesn’t make a lot of sense. I googled on

is that we are also using CACTI for monitoring the systems and it shows a 100%

Nagios setup ..<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
