Why do you think processor load is going to be the same as load average? Oo

They're not measuring the same thing.

Observium is polling the hrProcessorLoad, right?

If run that manually i'm getting exactly what is Observium graphing 
(when i'm interpreting that correctly) - 3 cores at 100

root@observium-ce:~# snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u xxx -a SHA -A xxx -x 
AES -X xxx 127.0.0.1 HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorLoad
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorLoad.196608 = INTEGER: 100
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorLoad.196609 = INTEGER: 100
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorLoad.196610 = INTEGER: 5
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrProcessorLoad.196611 = INTEGER: 100
root@observium-ce:~#

versus:

root@observium-ce:~# snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u xxx -a SHA -A xxx -x 
AES -X xxx 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3
iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.1 = STRING: "0.05"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2 = STRING: "0.07"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3 = STRING: "0.13"
root@observium-ce:~#

top - 22:42:48 up 1 day,  2:45,  2 users,  load average: 0.05, 0.07, 
0.13

 Still confused... the LXC Container im running Observium on and polls
 itself via SNMP has 4 cores assigned where 3 cores are graphed at 100%
 all the time since the container is turned on - and it's now
 explicitly the only Container/VM running on this hardware.
 
 But if i manually run following SNMP query on the LXC Container i get
 the same values as TOP shows for 1/5/15 minutes:
 
 root@observium-ce:~# snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u xxx -a SHA -A xxx -x
 AES -X xxx 127.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3

 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.2 = STRING: "0.06"
 iso.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.3.3 = STRING: "0.07"
 root@observium-ce:~#
 
 top - 22:17:18 up 1 day,  2:09,  2 users,  load average: 0.09, 0.06, 
 0.07
 
 This doesn't match what is graphed for the CPU cores in Observium

 There's no difference to how the two versions operate when polling 
 these
 things.
 
 We can only show the data that the SNMPd provides to us. If the number 
 being
 returned is an instantaneous value instead of a 5 minute average, the 
 act of
 polling itself will affect the value.
 
 But if you don't poll it, is it even turned on?
