+## Overview
+
+System Load Average
+
+The plugin calls `sysctl` function to collect necessary data.
+
+This collector is supported on all platforms.
+
+This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
+
+
+### Default Behavior
+
+#### Auto-Detection
+
+This integration doesn't support auto-detection.
+
+#### Limits
+
+The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection.
+
+#### Performance Impact
+
+The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system.
+
+
+## Metrics
+
+Metrics grouped by *scope*.
+
+The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
+
+
+
+### Per vm.loadavg instance
+
+Monitoring for number of threads running or waiting.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| system.load | load1, load5, load15 | load |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+
+The following alerts are available:
+
+| Alert name | On metric | Description |
+|:------------|:----------|:------------|
+| [ load_cpu_number ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/load.conf) | system.load | number of active CPU cores in the system |
+| [ load_average_15 ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/load.conf) | system.load | system fifteen-minute load average |
+| [ load_average_5 ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/load.conf) | system.load | system five-minute load average |
+| [ load_average_1 ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/load.conf) | system.load | system one-minute load average |
+
