Seems like a locale issue. The decimal point is a comma so the server ignores the leading zero.

Adam,
thx for your help.
The output of uptime is:
13:02:45 up 23:03, 4 users, load average: 0,60, 0,13, 0,04
Nearly at the same time I get this in Xymon:

Looking at the server side code, the cpu load average for a linux client is actually extracted from the [uptime] section, not the [top] section, which surprised me a little.
(i.e. the sections as generated in the output of
/usr/lib/xymon/client/bin/xymonclient-linux.sh)
The [uptime] section is the output of just running "uptime". The server code looks for the string "load average: " or "load averages: ", then after that looks for either of the patterns "FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT" or "FLOAT FLOAT FLOAT". The middle float from that list is then reported as the CPU load.
Christian: what does the output of "uptime" look like on your client?

Christian,
Looking at xymon-rclient.sh, it will grab the load average fromthe "top" command. I assume for your configuration that it is using
the xymonclient-linux.sh script to collect the data. If so, it runs
"$TOP - b -n 1" and the line near the top that has the load average is used.
$TOP would be defined in your xymonclient.cfg file for the client.
What does the head of "top -b -n 1" look like on your system?Tom
