the bb-top.sh extension from deadcat.net to do this on Sun Solaris, and we
modified the src code for bbwin to do it on the PC. Very
doable.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

alerts<BR><BR></FONT></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Hi all</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I'm baaaack :-)</FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>For those who might have missed me, I spent a few
months contracting for a company that standardised on BMC Patrol. Wouldn't
even look at Hobbit.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>BMC is a horrible
package, expensive, not very extensible, with a huge client footprint and
overhead, and is very prone to crashing.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>Sad product.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>But no matter,
I am now trying to satisfy my new company that Hobbit is the one monitor to
rule them all, and my new colleagues have identified a "deficiency".</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>This has probably been asked and answered
before, but here is what they want.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I
have been asked to generate a yellow/red status when absolute CPU utilisation
reaches predetermined thresholds.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Yes,
I know, without looking at the run-queue this figure is not very meaningful,
but this is what they want.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The
la1 graph in the trends column does an excellent job of graphing the CPU
utilisation, but how do I configure an alert based on that figure?</FONT>
