[hobbit] CPU Monitoring

[Rich Smrcina]

If by track you mean the graph, it is still populated with the high load 
values, so that can be used to show management that over time this 
machine has had excessive utilization.

You may be able to find a thresshold where the machine bounces between 
green, yellow and red during the day.  Be aware though that each time it 
goes between colors that a histlog entry is made (which may require more 
disk space, depending upon how often it bounces and how long you let it 
bounce).
