Yes, you can use the "check system" to test system wide resources - for example like this (customize the limits for your environment):
check system mysystem if cpu usage (user) > 90% then alert if cpu usage (system) > 90% then alert if cpu usage (wait) > 90% then alert if loadavg (1min) > 24 then alert if loadavg (5min) > 16 then alert if loadavg (15min) > 15 then alert if memory usage > 90% then alert if swap usage > 90% then alert Regards, Martin On May 11, 2011, at 7:00 PM, Stephen Paul Weber wrote: > I have alerts set up right now on total box CPU usage.
