I see that Buchan asked for this a few years back. Has anyone done this.
I would like to start alerting on %CPU not LOAD. I would still like to
graph LOAD and have that show up under trends. The % CPU is already in
Trends being graphed it would be nice just to pull that over to the CPU
column.
In 4.3.x, add this to your analysis.cfg:

HOST=foo
  DS cpu vmstat.rrd:cpu_idl >=25 COLOR=green TEXT="CPU load normal"
  DS cpu vmstat.rrd:cpu_idl <25  COLOR=yellow TEXT="High CPU load"
  DS cpu vmstat.rrd:cpu_idl <10  COLOR=red TEXT="Critical CPU load"
FYI: The column name is missing in the DS example in the docs:

Example: Flag "conn" status a yellow if responsetime exceeds
100 msec.
.br
        DS tcp.conn.rrd:sec >0.1 COLOR=yellow TEXT="Response time &V
exceeds &U seconds"
