Simply put the load is how much calculator power your box is doing.  I
have seen servers that have a value of several hundred load on a day to day
basis.<br>
<br>
The biggest reason for it being monitored is to watch what is usual and when
you see a spike, ascend, descend, etc, you have a history to compare it
to.  This value will be different for nearly every single server.<br>

<p>I am getting pages from my hobbit server when some of my linux systems are
hitting 15 on their load avg. does that equate to something worse than it
sounds? Cause 15% load average on a linux system does not seem that bad? Or is
it not a percentage?<o:p></o:p></p>
