That's odd,  the CPU and MEM charts are working OK for me.  It's just the 
load-avg that is missing (which causes the host to be marked "down").

For troubleshooting,  if you intercept the sFlow feed with sflowtool 
(http://www.inmon.com/technology/sflowTools.php) then you can see what the 
numbers look like.  The graphical freeware tool sFlowTrend is an option too.  
(http://www.inmon.com/products/sFlowTrend.php).

How frequently would we need to poll the Processor Queue Length to get a 
reasonable load-average estimate?  If we could get away with only doing it 
every few seconds then it might be worthwhile (perhaps a random delay would be 
appropriate) but I suspect you might have to poll much faster than that to get 
something worthwhile?
