System load vs user load

[karthikraj]

Hello Guys,

I found two parameters like system load and user load in my JON dashboard configuration parameters.
Can anyone explain the difference between them also suggest which one should be monitored to view the performance of EAp.

Hello,

System Load is OS and Kernel use of the CPU, User Load is applications. There are plenty of articles out there explaining the difference

You should monitor both, but ususally it is user applications causing load problems.
