Alerting on 100% cpu for a period of time

[Charles Breite]

We alert on our bandwidth this way. We set the alerts to re-check(re-try interval) every min for 10 min. If the pipe is still full then we alert.
Hope this helps.

Anything is _possible_. :)

The smart folks on this list can probably suggest something better,
but one option would be to have a sar process logging cpu usage to a
file and then an NRPE check to look at the values in that file.
