Hi Jatin, The Nagios plugins doesn't calculate anything, it just read the load averages produced by the Linux/*nix OS itself. Have a look at this article: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9001?page=0,0 If you execute following commands on the command line of your linux box you'll see the numbers originate from your os itself: #top #w #cat /proc/loadavg #uptime ... most likely a couple more The only thing the load plugin does is evaluating the threshold you defined to the value returned by your OS. Hope it helps Jelle ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
