Linux load question

Any chance you have another entry that could be overriding that setting?
Or maybe it's not matching he entry and falling aback to default?

I have a linux server which is alerting on a high load but the load
average is lower than my threshold.  My question, why is it going red?


Analysis.cfg

HOST=serverA

        LOAD    89.0 90.0


Here are the top results – I expect that the alert should be triggered by
the load average of 21.75 which is far lower than the thresholds.

top - 07:58:55 up 17 days, 19:31, 20 users,  load average: 21.75, 25.16,
25.32

...


But, there is a single process using a ton of cpu on one of the multiple
cores – is this factoring into the alert?  If so, why is it not documented?

   PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU %MEM     TIME+
COMMAND

121978 user1+    20   0 46.839g 0.040t  50388 S  2774 17.2  18504:34 python


Thanks,
