Re: More cpu system checks / documentation

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

the cpu usage syntax is documented in the "Resource testing" chapter:
http://www.tildeslash.com/monit/doc/manual.php#resource_testing

The "cpu usage (idle)" test may make as portable alternative to the 
user/system/wait and to system specific cpu metric (such as irq, etc.) 
which are not implemented currently. I think it should be easy - you are 
welcome to look on it and get your name on monit contributors list :)
