Hi, we have both Linux and Windows hosts.

For Linux hosts we can see both CPU Usage and System Load

For Windows hosts we only see CPU Usage

Is this a config issue or is it as designed?

This works as designed. The Load metric is only available on unix systems, so dynatrace can’t show it for windows systems.

If you need additional metrics for your windows systms you could [leverage WMI.](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/leverage-wmi-to-enable-full-observability-and-monitor-performance-of-windows-hosts-and-services/)
