[SOLVED] Systeminfo CPU load clarification

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hello good people,

I need a bit of clarification, please…

I am using the systeminfo binding to monitor cpu load on my OH machine which incidentally does more than running OH…

The docs say:
Channel: load / Recent load in percents / Number

Now I receive a value consistenly between 0.0 and 0.4 (And sometimes peaks too. I belive the value received is accurate. That is not the question)

The question is:

Is that 0.0% to 0.4%
OR
0% to 40%

Thanks

2

for which measurement? the cpu#load one or the other 3 (load1, load5, load15)?

I know about the 1,5,15. Here is a good article on them: Understanding Linux CPU Load - when should you be worried? | Scout APM Blog

I don’t know what the cpu#load represents in the binding’s channel (I don’t use this addon)

3

The unit of the returned number is percent, so a value of 0.4 and a unit of ‘%’ will represent a load of 0.4%.

4

In this case, the channel should be named CPU utilization (not CPU load) :wink:

Thanks all

But why no (at 2.5M4) more in System Info Binding?

Quite easy, the underlying OSHI library does not support this value any longer.
This was already answered in several other threads.
