By running top, htop, uptime, etc. we can see the load average as three values indicating the average load for the last 1/5/15 minutes (well not really, but that isn't the question here).
Sometimes I'll notice that I have a fairly high load average for the last 15 minutes, but the current load is very low.
I had the query as to whether the load average in a multi CPU machine should be
(load average/no of CPUs)
We have 4 CPU on our VMware RHEL instance, so the load average should be
Load average/4.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Load Average on a server reflects the current state of the server. Higher the load average, poorer is the server performance. The following shell script monitors the load average on the Linux server and inform the server administrator with the current running processes if the load average is greater than the defined threshold.

When a computer has for example 6 physical cores and 12 logical cores CPU, which number do we have to rely to consider a high load average ?
A load average > 6 or a load average > 12 ?
For exemple :
CPU : Intel Xeon E5-1650
Cores / Threads : 6 / 12
Fréquence : 3.2GHz / 3.8GHz Turbo Boost
on running the uptime command, it tells me that I have 5 users logged in. I don't understand this since I have on one user registered on this computer. This is the output
11:07:19 up 5 days, 1:11, 5 users, load average: 0.42, 0.67, 0.56
A Drupal 7 site with CiviCRM, after running smoothly for a year on a 1&1 VPS suddenly became unresponsive. Now pages eventually load, but can take more than a minute.
Looking at resource use in Virtuozzo, the load average carries a warning, and has remained above 1. While I understand this isn't particularly high, this is a change from when the site was working.
Hi all,
I just wonder if anyone can give some hint regarding my problem. I have a server based on RHEL 4.4
What I have noticed is that server load average is raising in approx. 7-10 days by approx.
Thank you for your reply.My load average looks ok, I guess:
top - 21:46:04 up 2:21, 3 users, load average: 0.18, 0.16, 0.24
