What is the best way to use number of CPUs as a multiplier in monit confs? I need this for a system that has varrying number of CPUs, depending on predicted load.

Right now the only idea I have is using sed or some other program to alter the config file.

This is something I would like to do:

check system MySystem
    if loadavg (5min) > 0.8 * NUMBER_OF_CPUS then alert

Depending on the number of CPUs you have .8 may alert too early. – user9517 Dec 16 '15 at 13:39
It was just an example and number out of my head and has nothing to do with the problem. – Firze Dec 17 '15 at 09:05
