Sensu Plugins Load Checks Plugin
Overview
This plugin provides native load instrumentation for monitoring and metrics collection, including load health and total or per-core metrics.
Files
- bin/check-load.rb
- bin/metrics-load.rb
check-load
Takes the loadavg and divides by the number of cores.
metrics-load
Uses uptime to collect load metrics. The number of CPUs is determined by reading /proc/cpuinfo, which makes the feature Linux-specific.
