Cpu average load. =20 Guys, I have started using big brother for monitoring our Unix/Oracle systems. I am getting alerts on the cpu utilization: dohsdb10.doh.ad.state.fl.us.cpu yellow Mon Nov 29 18:36:36 EST 2004 up: 55 day(s), 12 users, 139 procs, load=3D171 LOAD AVG on dohsdb10,doh,ad,state,fl,us is 171 What is a good load average per cpu - this is a Solaris 2.9 smp machine with multiple cpu's - what should I expect??? How can I tell if this cpu utilization is affecting performance on the host? Thanks, Paula -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
