Current Load
More information about load average value thresholds
The Current Load service analyzes three load average values for the past 1 minute (load1), 5 minutes (load5), and 15 minutes (load15). These are then compared to the defined thresholds. For example, if the load thresholds are defined as:
| Load | Warning Threshold | Critical Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| load1 | 5.0 | 10.0 |
| load5 | 5.0 | 10.0 |
| load15 | 5.0 | 10.0 |
If the actual average load values are
- 0.65, 0.43, 0.53: The Current Load Service State will be OK because all of the load average values are below the defined thresholds.
- 0.65, 5.43, 0.53: The Current Load Service State will be WARNING because load5 average value is above the defined warning threshold but below the defined critical threshold.
- 0.65, 5.43, 10.53: The Current Load Service State will be CRITICAL because the load15 average value is above the defined critical threshold.
Default Thresholds
| Node | Status | Thresholds |
|---|---|---|
| ALL | Warning | 1000000 |
| Critical | 1000000 |
Note: The value 1000000 refers to infinity. It is essentially an unreachable threshold to prevent warning and critical states from occurring. This service provides useful metrics for statistics.
Metrics: Returns three metrics – load1, load5, and load15
