Hi


Whether Loadaverage above 100 is allowed in 7 core processor.CPU utilization is very low .Loadaverage is very high

Kindly advise how can i analyse load average .

CPU %user %nice %system %iowait %idle

Better take another look at those numbers. The CPUs are running 100% busy (add the %user and %system) and you have a large number of tasks in the runq.
Of course the loadavg will climb.

Note the drop in runq at 03:50 PM caused the loadavg to also start falling.
Working as it should I'd say.

In future if you expect help with data from commands, use [code] tags to keep the data formatted properly.
