MMM-SystemStats question

For those who use this module, what does the number in ‘System Load’ actually mean/represent? and what is considered a high number? Thanks!

(sorry for the image quality!)

Excellent read. Thank you.

@broberg that’s helpful, thank you. Though now I wonder what the time period is that SystemStats is referencing. I guess I’ll have to pay more attention to how frequently the load fluctuates, which I guess would suggest a shorter time period.
