Note that as a client session may consist of one client descriptor and
several server descriptors, it is not possible to deduce the number of
client sessions from the descriptor count alone. If MaxScale is running ok,
the number of current and total descriptors should be roughly the same for
all threads.
The resultant output returns data as to the average thread utilization for the The `Load (1s)` column shows the load during the last measured second, an

processing these events.
The load during the measured second is defined as
`100 * (1 - time-spent-blocked-in-epoll_wait() / 1)` which translates into
a load of `0` if the thread is blocked in `epoll_wait()` for the entire
second, waiting for events to process, and `100` if the thread spends no time
blocked in `epoll_wait()` but processing events for the entire duration.
The `Load (1m)` value is the moving average of the last 60 second load values
and the `Load (1h)` value is the moving average of the last 60 minute load
values.
