System Load
APM analyzes and displays the system load average for the monitored Solaris system in the specified
time period (1 minute, 5 minutes, and 15 minutes). System load average is the average number of the
processes running on the Solaris system during a specified time period. Excessive system load can cause
performance problems and the thresholds of system load vary across different types of CPU. The System
Load area layout is shown in Figure 53.
