Why are the graphs on the dashboard showing 200 % CPU usage, when my linode is idle?
Running the command "top" shows that the machine is completely idle (load average = 0,00).
However, once every hour I get an email with a Linode Alert, saying that CPU usage has exceeded 90. This agress with the CPU % graph on the dashboard, where the CPU usage is constantly at 200 %.
Why is there this discrepancy between load average and CPU usage?
What steps can I take to reduce the CPU usage?
