This is going to be a very bad and chatty monitoring alert. I don't think it's effective to try to assess CPU utilization at the 10% threshold.

What are you really trying to accomplish?

  • Thanks Ewwhite for answering, I trying to configure e-mail alert for abnormal CPU utilization and long run process activity. so If I get process list when CPU reach beyond 10% it'll be helpful. – Arul Dhandapani Dec 22 '14 at 09:04
  • I able to receive CPU>10% report by mail using monit, and I would like to learn how to configure to get "top process" information by mail. Else if you have any other idea about my requirement let me know. – Arul Dhandapani Jan 13 '15 at 15:05
  • I'm not sure. You may have to script it. – ewwhite Jan 13 '15 at 15:06

check process all_process if cpu usage > 10% then exec "/bin/bash -c 'ps -Ao user,uid,comm,pid,pcpu,tty --sort=-pcpu | head -n 6 | mail -s top admin@foo.bar'"
