Feature request - thresholds for CPU utilisation (not load average)
I see that Buchan asked for this a few years back. Has anyone done this. I would like to start alerting on %CPU not LOAD. I would still like to graph LOAD and have that show up under trends. The % CPU is already in Trends being graphed it would be nice just to pull that over to the CPU column.
Here is the first request: http://lists.xymon.com/archive/2008-February/017968.html
Thanks

In 4.3.x, add this to your analysis.cfg:
HOST=foo DS cpu vmstat.rrd:cpu_idl >=25 COLOR=green TEXT="CPU load normal" DS cpu vmstat.rrd:cpu_idl <25 COLOR=yellow TEXT="High CPU load" DS cpu vmstat.rrd:cpu_idl <10 COLOR=red TEXT="Critical CPU load"

FYI: The column name is missing in the DS example in the docs:
Example: Flag "conn" status a yellow if responsetime exceeds 100 msec. .br DS tcp.conn.rrd:sec >0.1 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Response time &V exceeds &U seconds"

Thanks - fixed.
Also, when I put in
TEXT="cpu load....."the opening double-quote shows in the display. Putting the double-quote before the TEXT:
"TEXT=cpu load......"makes it come out OK. I don't know if that's a documentation issue or something in the code that processes analysis.cfg.
Thanks!

Great info... Having the ability to alert on the rrd data is great!
Thank you!
