NAME

Sys::CpuLoad - retrieve system load averages

VERSION

version 0.22

SYNOPSIS

use Sys::CpuLoad 'load';
print '1 min, 5 min, 15 min load average: ',
      join(',', load()), "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This module retrieves the 1 minute, 5 minute, and 15 minute load average of a machine.

EXPORTS

load

This method returns the load average for 1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minutes as an array.

On Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD systems, it will make a call to "getloadavg".

If /proc/loadavg is available on non-Cygwin systems, it will call "proc_loadavg".

Otherwise, it will attempt to parse the output of uptime.

On error, it will return an array of undef values.

If you are writing code to work on multiple systems, you should use this function. But if your code is intended for specific systems, then you should use the appropriate function.

getloadavg

This is a wrapper around the system call to getloadavg.

If this call is unavailable, or it is fails, it will return undef.

Added in v0.22.

proc_loadavg

If /proc/loadavg is available, it will be used.

If the data cannot be parsed, it will return undef.

Added in v0.22.

uptime

Parse the output of uptime.

If the output cannot be parsed, it will return undef.

Added in v0.22.
