Understanding the system status page on the front panel

The system status page on the NION front panel shows information about the CPU load during set periods of time. The information is based on the output from the Linux Top command, /proc/loadavg file and the uptime command.

LOAD	The average of the number of tasks running during the period of time since the page was last refreshed.
5M	Average CPU load over the last 5 minutes.
15M	Average CPU load over the last 15 minutes.
CPU	Current percentage utilization of the CPU.

For more information on the Top command, see http://linux.die.net/man/1/top.
