Node node.load.1min

It's the 'system load' averaged over 1 minute. Also available as 5min and 15min;
see the standard UNIX command 'uptime', also available in a OneFS login shell.
Basically it reports the number of running processes. So a load value of 10
means 10 processes are running, and each process receives a share of 1/10 of
available CPU cycles. Processes with lots of kernel activity might be weighed higher,
the specifics of which are somewhat mysterious and different on various flavours
of UNIX (Linux, *BSD).
