# getCpuLoad()

## `getCpuLoad()`

### Overview

The `getCpuLoad()` function retrieves the current CPU load on the system. It uses the `systeminformation` library to fetch the CPU load and returns the value as a percentage, rounded to two decimal places.

### Usage

```js
const cpuLoad = await monitoring.getCpuLoad();
```

### Description

* **`getCpuLoad()`** retrieves the current CPU load.
* The result is returned as a string with two decimal places, representing the percentage of CPU load.
* This function is asynchronous, so it returns a promise and should be used with `await`.

Use this function to monitor the CPU load in real-time or log the CPU status in your application.
