That sounds logical, and this is what I've adjusted:
check_command                   check_local_load!8.0,5.0,4.0!12.0,7.0,6.0

but I've restarted the nagios process and the alert still persists. I dont see anything in nagios.log or /var/log/messages related to this either.

what could I be missing?
