=head1 NAME
load - Plugin to monitor the load average on a system.
=head1 CONFIGURATION
The following environment variables are used by this plugin:
=over 4
=item load_warning <float>
Threshold for when to report a warning
=item load_critical <float>
Threshold for when to report a critical
=back
=head2 EXAMPLE CONFIGURATION
 [load]
  env.load_warning 5
  env.load_critical 10
=head1 NOTES
If run with the "autoconf"-parameter, give our opinion on wether we
should be run on this system or not. This is optinal, and only used by
munin-config. In the case of this plugin, we should most probably
always be included.
