Josh, I read it the same way Kim did--that you were literally asking
_how_ to change the values. I thought it strange that you wouldn't
know given that you're one of the most active contributors on this list
WRT solving config problems, but it seemed you were saying you made
changes and they didn't work.
5 and 10 are way too low IMO for most scenarios on current
multi-core/multi-processor hardware. I typically use 20 and 30 for
servers where online response time is important, much higher for
background-type servers like sendmail.

I understand how and I even explained that I have changed the values.
The default for yellow and red is 5 and 10. The server that
introduced the question was increased to 10 and 25.
My question is what do the other users on this mailing list change
them to and based on what information?

I have a server that does does a lot of work all the time - a
vmware server. Each virtual machine does its own things, but the
host OS has load 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
