check graph load average pl

[spiderab]

Hi at all , Oreon is fantastic!

I've a question : I've tried to use the "check_graph_load_average_pl" plugin, but the values that I receive isn't the real CPU use of the Linux machine (I tried to look for this vmstat and compare with the result of the plugin) . There is a plugin graphic that show the exactly value of the cup use?

thanks in advance

This is because load average is not CPU load, but load of the whole system. It is related to the kernel scheduler.
Load average is what you can see in 'top':
8:05pm up 29 days, 3:54, 7 users, load average: 0.81, 0.68, 0.35
CPU0 states: 0.0% user, 0.2% system, 0.0% nice, 99.3% idle
Two different informations here.
