I'm looking for best practices with regard to CPU monitoring.

I have systems where the CPU is overloaded, and we really

can't do much about it. What do most folks do with the CPU

monitor with regard to showing RED all the time?
I don't have a different suggestion to those already made, but I do
have a related question for everybody:  would there be any value in
having a CPU minimum load setting that would trigger a red flag??  I'm
thinking that in a normally heavily loaded system, a sudden drop in
cpu activity could indicate a problem.  Or is there already a way to
invert the condition??  I don't have a set of manual pages handy to
check right now...
