> although it's showing the CPU usage at roughly 10% the load averages for 1m,5m,15m are 8.5,8,9.
The high load average is suggesting it's I/O bound. Look in "ps auxwww" output for processes in state D. Also look at "iostat -5 x": ignore the first output which is the average since system boot, look at what it shows every 5 seconds thereafter. Look in particular for the %util figure in the last column: if that's near 100% for any drive then it's saturated on I/O. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
