I see a nice little check_snmp_load plugin that comes with groundwork/nagios, but not sure if it's correct. When I run from the command line on the nagio server, I get the following; ./<a href="http://check_snmp_load.pl">check_snmp_load.pl</a> -H 192.168.50.101 -C community -w 50 0 -c 60 I get the following reply; 4 CPU, average load 14.8 < 50 : OK at the same time, a 'w' shows; root@ws1:~# w 15:18:31 up 21 days, 17:51, 3 users, load average: 1.12, 1.75, 1.72 So I am trying to see if I am missing something as to why the load is showing at 14, where it should be one. Not sure if anyone is using this over the check_by_ssh, and has feedback, but I would like to just get the immediate server load every x amount of minutes, not worried about the 5 minute average, etc. Thanks
