Condition State
CPU utilization exceeds 90% AND the number of processes in the
run queue divided by the number of CPUs exceeds 11
Fatal
CPU utilization exceeds 80% AND the number of processes in the
run queue divided by the number of CPUs exceeds 8
Critical
CPU utilization exceeds 70% AND the number of processes in the
run queue divided by the number of CPUs exceeds 5
Warning
CPU utilization is less than 70% AND the number of processes in
the run queue divided by the number of CPUs is less than 5
Normal
