#7 auto-adjusting load levels

[Andreas Loong]

Hi,

Your plugins to nagios are great, been testing them
here for a while now. However, I have noticed a little
problem which I will try to outline below;

We have hosts with processors ranging from 1 to 80.
Setting the levels for load average means I will have
to divide the hosts into groups and then set the load
values for each processor group.

An alternate way would be to just set a "multiply
level" for one cpu, say, warn at 1.3 in load. Your
script could query the snmp agent for how many
processors are in the system, and would apply the
multiple for it, 4 x 1.3 = 6.2 and that would be the
warn value.

Something along those lines would greatly simply
configuration and make your script even better and
easier to use. What do you think?

Good idea. In next release.
