Hi, what does the Load(1m) and the red/yellow color code mean? Specifically:

- What does "1m" mean?
- What does red mean? I usually see this color if the load metric is greater than 10. Is it 10% load? If red means the cluster is under heavy load then 10% seems too low.

Thanks!

1m means 1 minute.  
Red could just be the colour assigned to the line what version are you running?
