Nagios warning and critical load threshold?


Recommended Posts

Hii everyone.

I am here again with a new query hoping neowin gurus can help me.

we have server that was cloned from physical to virtual. Now the load on this server has tremendously reduced. But the threshold set are w.r.t physical server and we do not receive any alert for load as the increased load always falls below previously set threshold.

Now I need to set the warning and critical threshold w.r.t virtual server.

I created a cronjob to record a load on server every 5 mins. Now after couple of weeks I got a load average with 1000s of samples.

Can someone help me with how can I set warning and critical threshold with the help of these load samples?

btw, the server has only one core.

Following is the file containing the samples. Open it with Wordpad or MSWord.

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
