High CPU alert on Nodes with multiple CPUs

Finally it is great to find support for Multiple CPU's on Orion, but still the support is limited to Node details page. How to setup alert if one of the several CPU's belonging to the Node is high. Currently the CPULoad for such nodes is the average of all polled CPU values which means it takes significantly longer to reach threshold values.

We have lots of 6500 chassis which has anywhere from 7 to 9 CPU's but often RP CPU is the most critical and often hit. CiscoWorks HUM used to alert is well in advance since it alerts on each CPU individually. Solarwinds took twice as much time as Ciscoworks to trigger this alert.

It's interesting that you post this, because today my team saw the opposite - we had a box with 32 CPU that was reporting 90% utilization, but it turned out only CPU 1 was pegged, and the rest were down at 1%.
