Last week I upgraded a server to Observium 23.10.13043 (stable)

In Polling information I had a huge increase in system polling,
(See attached images.)

I backed out the upgrade and tried it again a few days later, when I
had more time to investigate.

In addition the processor graph had changed, showing much higher CPU usage
I also noticed a new graph called Load Averages

defined here...

 13020      adama     'scale'     => 0.01,
 13020      adama     // Walks
 13020      adama     'oid_extra' => 'jnxOperatingState.9',
 13020      adama     'oid_1min'  => 'jnxOperating1MinLoadAvg.9',
 13020      adama     'oid_5min'  => 'jnxOperating5MinLoadAvg.9',
 13020      adama     'oid_15min' => 'jnxOperating15MinLoadAvg.9',
 13020      adama     'test'      => [ 'field' => 'jnxOperatingState',
'operator' => 'eq', 'value' => 'running' ],
 13020      adama ];
 13020      adama

I added
unset($config['mibs'][$mib]['la']); // dave did this

This has fixed the problem,  I don't need the la graph anyway.
I had tried to add this to confg.php, but that didn't work.

I'm concerned that modifying the juniper.inc.php is not a good idea.
Is there a better way to disable this?
