Total cpu usage

[Machiel Richards]

HI All

 

            I hope that someone can please assist me with either a
script or a plugin.

 

            I am looking to monitor the total percentage of CPU usage on
a linux server using Nagios.

 

            I was hoping to write my own script but as this is quite
urgent being a production system I need to get this in a.s.a.p

 

 

            We are currently monitoring the load averages but they have
the requirement to be notified once the cpu's are used at more than 80%
capacity as this suggests a problem on the relevant servers.

 

 

            Does anybody know about a plugin or script that I can use in
order to get this put in place?

 

            We are running SLES 9 Service pack 3 if this makes a
difference to the commands etc...

 

 

 

Regards

Machiel
