Hi all,
Is it possible to have monit alert when load average exceeds the number of CPUs, i.e. without having to set a specific number? This would be convenient for virtual machines. The documentation seems a little vague on the subject though.
I did try setting load average as a percentage, but that resulted in a syntax error.
