Load Average is Difference Between Uptime and Snmpwalk

Following example shows the difference between uptime and snmpwalk commands.

# uptime
 12:13:48 up 580 days, 51 min,  8 users,  load average: 2.38, 1.70, 2.70
# snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadInt.1 = INTEGER: 243
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadInt.2 = INTEGER: 172
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadInt.3 = INTEGER: 270

# snmpwalk -v2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.6
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadFloat.1 = Opaque: Float: 2.240000
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadFloat.2 = Opaque: Float: 1.690000
UCD-SNMP-MIB::laLoadFloat.3 = Opaque: Float: 2.680000

Snmp has 2 oids for load average, integer and floating point. The value of floating point is the same as uptime, To convert integer load average value from snmpwalk, simplely devide it by 100.
