[Xymon] Intelligent CPU Load Settings

Xymon'ers,

Is there any planned functionality to be able to dynamically set a xymon 
client's LOAD alert settings based upon how many processors it has?

The current static defaults are not too helpful, and hand editing an 
entry in /etc/xymon/analysis/*.cfg for every server just shouldn't have 
to be done.

_*Ideally*_
It would be best if along with the "top" view that is reported by 
clients, they also reported their CPU count (either with "nproc" or 
"grep -c proc /proc/cpuinfo")

Then the CPU count could be shown on client's "cpu" service page. <= 
Critical information when determining if load is a problem or not.

Since the count would then be reported to and available on the xymon 
server, it could then be possible to set warnings and criticals based 
off of CPU count. (IE Warn at a load number equal to CPU count, Critical 
at a number equal to CPU count x 1.5)

Regards,
