List of Plugins |
The Load plugin collects the system load. These numbers give a rough overview over the utilization of a machine, though their meaning is mostly overrated.
The system load is defined as the number of runnable tasks in the run-queue and is provided by many operating systems as a one, five or fifteen minute average.
