How to Alert on Log entry "CPU overloaded"

[gniknalu]

When the Very Secure crashed, according to the support team, they saw "CPU overloaded" events in the log. [ReportError nm_cpu / CPU overloaded, count: 5, sec: 1206, idle: 3, system: 40, delay: 184 / <0?771df000>] I'm wondering if there is a way to alert when something similar appears in the log and maybe even trigger a reboot?

Thank you

Not directly related to the log entry, but several plugins (EventWatcher, SystemMonitor?) expose a CPU-load type of parameter.

In particular, EventWatcher has a CPU05 variable giving CPU loading over a 5-minute average.

If really necessary, you could pull this directly from the pseudo-file in /proc/loadavg, without even needing a plugin installed.

Edit: I should add that I routinely log memory usage (free and available) plus CPU load for all three of my Vera systems. See attachment

Yeah - but none of the ones mentioned alert on problems - just log them. To me it makes sense that there should be some alert when an event occurs in the log that is indicating instability or a possible crash. . . .
