ST06: Load Average
Hi
I've been consulting two different Basis Consultants with this question and got two different answers, so I will just try this forum to figure out which one is right:
I have a WEB AS server with 12 CPUs (running Business Warehouse) where the load average is between 4 and 10. In the detailed analysis I can see that most of the CPUs are idle even with a Load Average on e.g. 8. My understanding of load average is the number of work-processes within a certain period (1 min; 5 min etc.) waiting for a CPU to be processed. Furthermore I heard that this load average as a rule of thumb should not be higher than 2.
Answer from Basis-Consultant1:
Load average should be calculated according to the CPUs so in ST06 it is allowed to have a load average of (12 CPUs * 2 work processes) 24. Which means that 10 is not much and is probably due to lack of parallelism in the processes.
Answer from Basis-Consultant2
According to the SAP opinion - like a rule of thumb - if the average load is around 1 percent it is OK, if it is 3 percent there could be a serious bottleneck. But there are also more things to consider (CPU utlization per hour, memory consumption etc.). So the whole picture has to be evaluated.
Can anybody help me here.... which one is right?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Check out this PDF "Best Practices for Performance Tuning SAP R3 and Oracle, Part I" in Sdn, It will give u a clear idea about load average
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5d0db4c9-0e01-0010-b68f-9b1408d5f234

Hi Experts,
I have a SOA deployed on AS 10.1.3.2 which is integerated with BI EE 10.1.3.2 on OHEL 4.
With this setup, I have seeing very high load average on cpu side. When I stop the soa oc4j the load average comes to normal level of under 1. While with soa process started it goes as high as 15 which is pretty abnormal.
Any pointers to debug what could be the issue will be helpfu.
Thanks,

Question about Load Average in the AWR report
Hi,
I've some database in 11.2 RAC on AIX.
I was analyzing the root causes of eviction.
Looking AWR Report before the reboot I see:
DB1
Host CPU (CPUs: 6 Cores: 3 Sockets: )
~~~~~~~~ Load Average
Begin End %User %System %WIO %Idle
4.18 12.33 60.9 12.6 1.6 26.5
Instance CPU
~~~~~~~~~~~~
% of total CPU for Instance: 27.4
% of busy CPU for Instance: 37.3
%DB time waiting for CPU - Resource Mgr: 10.6
DB2
Host CPU (CPUs: 6 Cores: 3 Sockets: )
~~~~~~~~ Load Average

Instance CPU
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why is my load average always above 1 regardless of cpu usage?
My load average is often ridiculous. For example, when I wake from sleep it's usually 45 or so. Even when I'm doing nothing with the machine (CPU is about 10% in each core) I still see load averages of 1.2 to 1.6 or so. Why would this happen?
Is there a way to figure out what is causing the load?Activity Monitor could see what happens on your MacBook.
Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

MacBook Pro Retina 2013 load average constantly above 1
I have a recently purchased (3 month old) MacBook Pro Retina - Late 2013.
I've noticed that the load averages appear to be rather consistently high.
So after a fresh reboot, with nothing other than background applications and the dashboard running, I've noticed that the CPU load stays above 1.0
The CPU itself is idle, at 100% nearly all of the time, it certainly doesn't correspond to '1' unit of load on this system.
I suspect something is amiss but have been unable to figure anything out.
I have tried the instrutions for clearing the SMC and this does not appear to have sorted anything.
The in-built diagnostics suggest nothing is wrong.
Any thoughts?Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Mavericks and later
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the View menu. Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.

One of 4 node RAC always have higher load averages and higher than others
Hello,
We have a 4 node rac, 9208 on linux 4. When viewing top, we noticed the same one node always have a higher load average than the other 3 nodes. Is this normal. Loan balance is working fine but this one node always have higher load average. This is the node where we do the rac installation. Thank you.I do not remember what is the default for clb_goal (client load balancing) for 9i but 10g is LONG.
check it
select clb_goal from dba_services where name = <service name>
you may have to change from LONG to SHORT OR SHORT to LONG depending your connection types.
dbms_service.MODIFY_SERVICE(‘<service>’,clb_goal=> dbms_service.CLB_GOAL_LONG);

System load average over 1.5 while cpu idle
Running 10.9.4. My load averages are continuously around 1.5 or higher while my cpu is around 95% idle, no apps running, I've just rebooted and logged in. This is very common now for my machine. Any suggestions? Thanks
On Unix systems that are idle I generally see near-zero load averages. I would expect OS X to be in that general vicinity and seem to recall seeing near-zero numbers in the past when the system is idle.

Load averages over 1.00 after upgrading to Mavericks
Hi,
I have recently upgraded to OS X Mavericks on my old Macbook Pro (Late-2007, 4GB RAM) and I noticed that the load averages are always above 1.00, even when CPU is almost 100% idle. I know load averages don't reflect only CPU but after a reboot I see the same. Could this be because it's an old Macbook and it takes more resources from it to run the new OS X 10.9? This is so strange.
Thanks for reading!
L.I'm having the same "issue" since I first upgraded to Mavericks from Lion. At first I thought it had something to do with the way processes are scheduled/handled in Mavericks but now I realize that I DO get load averages below 1.0 (~0.7-0.8, never below this), but only when completely idle.
I have an early 2011 Macbook 2.7 GHz i7with 16 GB RAM, so I find this kinda weird.
Are you using any particular applications/extensions?
(see also http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/106828/avg-load-goes-up-after-upgrading -to-mavericks, altough there is no solution here). -
ODSEE 11g - DPS Directory proxy server suddenly increase load average
Hi all
Recently upgraded from directory server 5.2 to ODSEE 11g, one directory proxy configure to one master directory server and one consumer directory server.
all the three instances are in the same sparc t3 machine.
Directory proxy server alerts server load average on the machine is above 6.00 normally it is 0.66. I'm not sure what is causing the sudden burst in the load ? the traffic is normal there is no abnormal requests coming to the server. proxy performance degrades over the span of 24 hours ....and Once i restart the proxy services (dpsadm restart) all load averages comes to normal and directory proxy runs normal for the next two - three weeks. The same cycle continues ...I'm not sure what was causing the sudden load increase.
I increased the JVM heap size from 1GB to 2 GB still continue to have the problem ..did anyone else experience similar problem. How did you fix it....
Any input or advise in the right direction is much appreciated.
Thank you.server load I'm referring to "prstat command" - server load average suddenly shoot up from 0.66 to 6.00 ie) the CPU usage. Alert is from our server monitoring tool not related to directory proxy.
Clients report connections time out (etime goes from etime=0 ..2..4.....) over 24 hours i can see the etime increases and eventually the proxy server get hung and non responsive. Once I restart all the performance back to normal at-least for another two weeks.
I suspect there might be a memory leak or JVM Garbage collection issue -- any expert input how to figure this out will help.
Here is the JVM args in the proxy server "Xms2g -Xmx2g -Xmn1g -XX:SurvivorRatio=4 -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"
Here is a jstat during the problem

Very high "load average" in top
Hi,
our OES11SP1 two-server-cluster (fully patched) shows a very high "load
average" (>50, up to 110) in top in some circumstances. There are no
problems in normal operation, but administrator actions like shutdown or
cluster migrate might trigger the problem.
For example when I enter 'halt', then there is the following line in
/var/log/messages:
Sep 12 20:27:18 srv1 shutdown[14675]: shutting down for system halt
more than 20 minutes later:
Sep 12 20:51:19 srv1 init: Switching to runlevel: 0
Within thes 20 minutes nothing happens, but "average load" goes up to at
least 50, with ndsd at top. Access to storage related tools and commands is
not possible, for example 'nss /pool' hangs without any output.
This happens on nearly every shutdown, but from time to time it doesn't. The
same will sometimes be triggered by a cluster migrate.
This only happens with our OES11SP1 cluster, it does not happen with OES11
and OES2SP3; the only other difference I'm aware of: Novell CIFS is only
running on the OES11SP1 cluster.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
MirkoSorry for the delay, it seems it's a bad habit of me to ask questions
immediately before holidays...
Yes, these servers have replicas, all of them... Cache size is set to 195328
KB, which is about twice the DIB size. IIRC this was a recommendation I read
somewhere at Novell. But I'll check that information again.
Thanks,
Mirko

From what I understand of them, 1.00 was supposed to represent at-or-around 100% load. For the longest time this made sense to me and when I wasn't really doing anything the averages would be really low.
But right now they are: load average: 2.69, 2.93, 3.00.
Hmm.
I actually noticed this probably a week ago. I don't know when the change occurred to pinpoint anything that could have changed it, but at low-stress usage it hovers around 3 and for full-load it is about twice that, at 6. What could be the cause of this and should I be worrying?
(Possibly related, though I'm not sure... I've been having trouble at startup from time to time, getting DMA errors I believe. Usually I let things sit for a little while and try to turn the computer on again and I won't get the error.)"Load" is a grey area... AFAIK, it covers CPU, RAM and I/O... So if you have a bottleneck in your I/O (for example, from a hard drive with DMA errors ) then the Load Average will go up due to that.

i want to get the load average of the system in windows. i heard that it is possible by using kernel32.dll and then using the 'getloadavg' function. how to do this? please help me out.does the kernel32.dll has this function within it?
No JNI needed if you have Java 6:
java.lang.management.ManagementFactory.getOperatingSystemMXBean().getSystemLoadAverage() -
Load averages at 1.30 at idle
After upgrading to Mavericks my load averages haven't gone below 1.30 and sometimes 1.60. I thought that maybe it was because I had allot of apps and my HDD was near full so I reinstalled OS X as a clean install and still the same. I now have the basic installation thats it no apps running and still 1.30. I have a 13-inch, Early 2011 MacBook Pro, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ram. Should I just downgrade back to Snow Leopard?
I got the load averages from terminal by typing in "uptime" I just this second typed it and got "14:29 up 1 day, 19:26, 2 users, load averages: 2.32 2.02 1.78" Lol I dunno if OS X is the same as other Unix systems where is it's the traffic on the bridge where 1 is at full capacity and anything more is over capacity lol.

Is it normal that fsflush eats that much of time?
Users told me, that it took several minutes to open files. What could be the issue?
If you need more information (vmstat, iostat) let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

Is it normal that fsflush eats that much of time? Doesn't seem unreasonable. A few hours of CPU time in 2 1/2 months? I wouldn't be looking there for your performance issues.
Users told me, that it took several minutes to open files. What could be the issue?Slow storage? Failing storage? Heavy load on the machine at the time? Any of those things.
