command[check_load]=/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load -r -w .45,.40,.35 -c .60,.55,.50

I would like to monitor the load of my server only when 80-85% busy should give warning and it should give 90-95% critical alert ... how should i perform above check load command ... am i doing the correct parameter above ... thanks

The above would give a WARNING if the load average per CPU was above any of the following"

Code: Select all

1 minute load - 0.45
5 minute load - 0.40
15 minute load - 0.35

The above would give a CRITICAL if the load average per CPU was above any of the following"

Code: Select all

1 minute load - 0.60
5 minute load - 0.55
15 minute load - 0.50

Unfortunately I cannot make this choice for you. There is so much more that goes into a busy server than just CPU, but the second one seems more logical if that is your target.
