The user, system, wait tells where the system spend the time. See
vmstat manual for more details.

Hello list,
I've installed monit on one of our production servers and it works
great!
I have a job there the takes backup of the server logs at 5:34 each
day, and each day I get an alert from monit telling me
"Description: 'server' cpu wait usage of 42.6% matches resource
limit [cpu wait usage>20.0%]".
Now, I could just go raise the bar in monit config file to be 50%
but I would like to understand what these cpu measurements really
mean ?
Could someone please enlighten me, refer to me to proper source of
information or just give a good explanation of when the wait time
of the cpu becomes high and when is it system time? I assume the
user time is simple user space, for example a program is doing
sorting on 1million records which takes time.
Thank you,
Maxim.
