what is "loadAvg1mi" in *NIX apps 's CPU dashboard

[dmlee]

Hi, I saw there is a field called "loadAvg1mi" in sourcetype="vmstat" (*NIX App) , any one know what it means ?

I tried to read vmstat.sh under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/unix/bin/ directory , but I am not familir to unix's shell script , so I don't understand what "loadAvg1mi" means.

thanks.

Don't know for sure, but the name sounds like "load average of 1 minute" to me.
