Example—Checking Queue Activity

The following abbreviated example shows output from the sar -q command. If %runocc is high (greater than 90 percent) and runq-sz is greater than 2, the CPU is heavily loaded and response is degraded. In this case, additional CPU capacity might be required to obtain acceptable system response.
