<tt>Xymon'ers,<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
<u><b>Ideally</b></u><br>
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")<br>
<br>
Then the CPU count could be shown on client's "cpu" service page.
<= Critical information when determining if load is a problem
or not.<br>
<br>
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)<br>
<br>
