Load Sensor Rules Format

The format for the load sensor rules is as follows:

• A load value report starts with a line that contains nothing but the word begin.

• Individual load values are separated by newlines.

• Each load value consists of three parts separated by colons (:) and contains no blanks.

• The first part of a load value is either the name of the host for which load is reported or the special name global.

• The second part of the load sensor is the symbolic name of the load value, as defined in the complex. See the complex(5) man page for details. If a load value is reported for which no entry in the complex exists, the reported load value is not used.

• The third part of the load sensor is the measured load value. A load value report ends with a line that contains the word end.
