I check system load like so:
[root@server cron.daily]# w 10:07:33 up 4 days, 15:01, 2 users, load average: 4.22, 3.17, 3.09
I would like to to graph the 3.17 5 minute average with MRTG. Anyone know of some examples of doing this?
Wrote this simple perl script:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $uptime = `uptime`; my $load = ( split /load/, $uptime )[1]; $load = ( split /,/, $load )[1]; chomp $load; print "$load\n";
Isn't that a bit overkill?
cut -d"" -f2 /proc/loadavg
It spits out 5 minute load average. Would like to just have MRTG graph the result every 5 minutes.
