Load Metrics

The load metrics are reported for each machine. The CPU % (reported as part of the basic Machine Agent metrics) is the percentage of the CPU consumed by processes that are currently running. Load takes into account processes that are waiting to run. These metrics are shown as percentages in the Server Dashboard and are scaled by 100 in the Metric Browser.
