Hi all,

        Just wanted to inquire about the load average monitoring option on
Monit. From the manual, it states the following:

The load average is the number of processes in the system run queue per CPU
core, averaged over the specified time period.

Could I get some clarity on how this system run queue works, and how does
this compare to the other CPU utilization option? Additionally, what would
be good values to configure for this load average value?

Regards,

Leonard
