The numbers being reported in the Resource Usage are vastly different than what is being reported at the command-line. </P> Tue, 08 May 2018 15:16:46 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/385389#M3304 a212830 2018-05-08T15:16:46Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/385390#M3305 <P>It uses the Introspection REST API endpoint:<BR /> <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.0/RESTREF/RESTintrospect#server.2Fstatus.2Fresource-usage.2Fhostwide">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.0/RESTREF/RESTintrospect#server.2Fstatus.2Fresource-usage.2Fhostwide</A></P> Tue, 08 May 2018 16:26:26 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/385390#M3305 somesoni2 2018-05-08T16:26:26Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/385391#M3306 <P>Thanks. I guess the more appropriate question is should it match (or at least be close) to what standard linux commands report, or is splunk doing something different? </P> Tue, 08 May 2018 16:37:17 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/385391#M3306 a212830 2018-05-08T16:37:17Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/385392#M3307 <P>Which command line command did you use? <CODE>top</CODE> some 3rd party tool? I'm sure it's nothing wild, but just needed to make sure. </P> Wed, 16 May 2018 16:03:44 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/385392#M3307 sloshburch 2018-05-16T16:03:44Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/569566#M8622 <P>buehler?</P> Mon, 04 Oct 2021 14:57:41 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/How-does-the-DMC-calculate-load-average/m-p/569566#M8622 ridwanahmed 2021-10-04T14:57:41Z
