Robert, load average being polled via SNMP. Here's my reply in another thread:
I suggest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Protocol if you're curious. To check your firewall, try this: 1. SSH into your instance 2. Execute a command: cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf|grep default | awk '{ print $4 }' 3. take the output string (it's a dynamically generated community name), SSH into Scalr machine, execute a command: snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY INSTANCE_IP 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.3 COMMUNITY - is what you get on step #2 I guess you can replace/patch a corresponding mib (1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.3).
