Topic: 55% cpu load all the time?? Eneo-sysmon

[Dirk Jullens]

Hello All

Im using the eneo sysmonitor.

My cpuload shows 55% all the time.

I have a dual p2 300 mhz hp server

Which cpu does the graph represent?

Is it normal a constant cpu load?

Txs in advance

[ryan]

I have about 100 users on 5.1.2 and cpuload for weekly report is:

Maximal load:  2.430    CPU:  58.56%
Avg load:   0.034        CPU:  0.88%
Current Load: 0.052    CPU:  1.98%

Running on PIII 500 single CPU Compaq Deskpro with 256MB RAM

Services:

Proxy
Squidguard
Sarg
Apache, Qmail, FTP running, but not used
IPSEC VPN to 2 other locations
PPTP VPN for 6 users

I have 3 other SME 5.1.2 boxes, all about the same config, each has similar stats on sysmon.  

Hope this helps you find an answer.

Dirk,

You can check your cpu load by entering into console mode as root

[root@blah]# top

you will get a display like

    9 root     -20 -20     0    0     0 SW<   0.0  0.0   0:00 raid1d

You can sort the results by cpu usage by typing P (note capital p)
This will show you which process is loading up your cpu.
Exit top by typing q
