I just got a critical on a system saying that my load was critical:
But it is not under load:

So in my localcient.cfg, I changed the load on cpu to 'LOAD 50.0 55.0'
Was that a good idea?

Not if it's not a good idea for you to have a load of 55 on your system.

Hi, the load on linux systems is considered high when it is higher than number for CPUs seen by the system. The value is a number of processes waiting in queue to get CPU time (even if it is waiting for disk I/O), not a utilisation in percentage so 50/55 is too high unless you have a server with 40-48 CPUs/cores. My default setting is "LOAD 5.0 10.0" for all machines with 4 CPUs.
