I like to keep my servers cleans of various agents and services since most of them are closed source hacks often ran with root account.
Of course, not all products are in that category, but i tend to avoid as much 3rd party software as i can.
Got this small program i believe it is called ksar or something, i just copy the files and draw the graphs, enough for me.

We have 4 CPU on our VMware RHEL instance, so the load average should be

UPTIME(1) Linux User's Manual UPTIME(1)
NAME
uptime - Tell how long the system has been running.
SYNOPSIS
uptime
uptime [-V]
DESCRIPTION
uptime gives a one line display of the following information. The current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are
currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
This is the same information contained in the header line displayed by w(1).
System load averages is the average number of processes that are either in a runnable or uninterruptable state. A process in a runnable
state is either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU. A process in uninterruptable state is waiting for some I/O access, eg waiting for
disk. The averages are taken over the three time intervals. Load averages are not normalized for the number of CPUs in a system, so a
load average of 1 means a single CPU system is loaded all the time while on a 4 CPU system it means it was idle 75% of the time.
FILES
/var/run/utmp
