I have a server that does does a lot of work all the time - a vmware

that gets to 20 at times.  Everything is just as responsive during these
times, so the default load warnings aren't valid for me.

I changed my alerts based on a test with stress (
http://freshmeat.net/projects/stress).

Does everyone else just accept the defaults for yellow and red?  If not,
how do you increase it?
In the help -> Configuring Monitoring is there a good description on how to 
change default. 
It is the hobbit-clients.cfg you need to change in, the file it self also have 
a good description
