I've got a 24 core box over here, obviously I need to tweak the configuration of the check_load plugin as it seems designed for a single core machine by default.
define service{ use generic-service host_name localhost service_description Current Load check_command check_load!20!18!16!22!19!18 } My understanding is that this breaks down as follows 1, 5, 15 minute load average. I've set it to the following. Warning thresholds. (17 is 70% of 24) 20!18!16 So warn if it is currently 20, or averaging 17. Critical thresholds. 22!19!18 Only one core, not maxed out, bad. Average above 22, bad. Anyhow, my question is. Is this a sane configuration. It's pretty generous with load. My usual load average is actually: 1.88 2.08 2.16 Any advice appreciated, Bryan Hunt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
