C.10.5. Rhn Satellite Server::load; C.10.6. Rhn Satellite Server::probe Count; C.10.7. Rhn Satellite Server::process Counts - Red Hat NETWORK SATELLITE 5.1.1 Reference Manual

a Satellite is overloaded (because it has too many probes with respect to their average execution
time), the number goes up.

C.10.5. RHN Satellite Server::Load

The RHN Satellite Server::Load probe monitors the CPU load on a Satellite and collects the following
metric:
• Load — The load average on the CPU for a 1-, 5-, and 15-minute period.

C.10.6. RHN Satellite Server::Probe Count

The RHN Satellite Server::Probe Count probe monitors the number of probes on a Satellite and
collects the following metric:
• Probes — The number of individual probes running on a Satellite.

C.10.7. RHN Satellite Server::Process Counts

The RHN Satellite Server::Process Counts probe monitors the number of processes on a Satellite and
collects the following metrics:
• Blocked — The number of processes that have been switched to the waiting queue and waiting
state.
• Child — The number of processes spawned by another process already running on the machine.
• Defunct — The number of processes that have terminated (either because they have been killed by
a signal or have called exit()) and whose parent processes have not yet received notification of
their termination by executing some form of the wait() system call.
