If you're talking about single CPU servers, yes. For multiple CPU servers, you can safely multiply by the number of CPUs to get a valid concern. I have a few linux machines (4 processor) that run at a load of 3 all day and are quite ok.

If by script don't round and multiply by 10, your graph will be in 10ths of a percent then, with a range of 1-1000. If your CPU use is so low why do you care? -----Original Message----- From: Scott Moseman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 9:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Values in the Tenths I'm trying to graph cpu "load" on Red Hat boxes. MRTG wants to only graph whole numbers (0,1,2). And most of our cpu load remains < 0 (eg- 0.2). Is there a way to get MRTG to graph this data? Or am I going to have to deal w/ whole numbers?
