But, IMHO, the threshold should be dependant more on the number of CPUs,
rather than on the architecture. For example, we have a higher threshold on
our X4600s (8 physical, dual core) than our X4100s/X4200s (2 physical, some
dual-core).
How many CPUs does the Sun T2000 have/report ?
I believe the T2000s report 32 processors, in reality there is only 1. 1 x 8 cores x 4 concurrent threads capable.
But for all our devices we normally set our LA thresholds by the folowing formula:
Warn: #CPU x 1
Panic: #CPU x 1.5
My hobbit-clients.cfg would be alot smaller if in the default section, if I could use a formula definition for LOAD instead of a hardcoded section.
Instead of defining runqueue threshhold per host name, it would be nice to
have a ARCH option which could be overridden by the HOST
You could hardcode the client's CLASS option to it's arch, and be able to do what you propose.
