Alert on ram and cpu usage

Is there a way to create an alert or advanced alert to shoot out a notification when ram or cpu usage on a particular node reaches a maximum level?  I currently use NPM 851 and I already monitor this feature on all nodes but currently view it through the web interface, but in the spirit of being more proactive we would like to receive alerts... 

  •  From the  System Manager Select Alerts->Configure Basic Alerts from the Network Performance Monitor menu.
    Then click on the "New Alert" button.
    Select "% CPU Utilization" as the property to monitor.
    Then set the trigger to some value (say 85%) and the reset to some lower value.
    You can then add actions (email, paging, net messages, sound, text-to-speech, etc).

  • I created 2 seperate alerts one for CPU and one for RAM, both have tested fine.  Thanks! I think...


    We may have opened up a whole new can of worms on wanting to monitor CPU and RAM.
