<DIV><SPAN class=057143411-13092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also included a

<DIV><SPAN class=057143411-13092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the PC platform,
we noticed that bbwin would not trigger as we had hopped on a multi
core machine when a process would bury one core, but the other would be
idle. I'll dig up the details for the changes we made if you, or anyone
else is interested.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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