check_load is good?

[InnovationsTech, Matthew Thomas]

This is only checking the load of the box. You have it set to alert when
the load gets to 15 or 5 or such. Your load is circa 1.. 

You would have to use ./check_proc or something of another

Am I following correctly?

Regards,
Matt

Subject: [Nagios-users] check_load is good?

Hi! I'm using check_load with this sintax

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20

This morning I have see ( from RRDTools ) high/100% load for my cpu (
this costant state for approximately 5 hours ).

# top
top - 11:40:55 up 82 days, 20:12,  2 users,  load average: 1.00, 1.07,
1.09

# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -w 15,10,5 -c 30,25,20
OK - load average: 1.01, 1.05, 1.08|load1=1.010;15.000;30.000;0;
load5=1.050;10.000;25.000;0; load15=1.080;5.000;20.000;0;


Why check_load can't see this "abouse" of CPU?

Thanks.
