How to calculate CPU Load Average
If you would like to auto calculate CPU load based on cores, there is a script posted to xymonton.org that can do that: https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/monitors:cpu-load-calc Yes, a little self promotion as I wrote it, but its working well in our environment and should do the trick for what you are trying to do.

Personally, I'd say that your warn and panic levels should be set to let you know when something abnormal is happening, rather than trying to calculate based on cores. When you have a couple of weeks of cpu load data in the graphs, you should be able to see the load average your server normally runs at. Set the warning level a bit above that so you get a warning if some process starts hammering the cpu. That'll tell you something unexpected is starting. Set the panic level somewhat higher.
