Detected Entity Types - How to Find
Team,
The most difficult part of alert checker creation is finding all the detected entity types to alert for.
I noticed for Linux, there’s a special entity type for average CPU, but I cannot figure out how to see what’s available?
I see this on the entity page, but how do I know what that entity is named? Special Situations¶https://docs.observium.org/entities/#special-situations_1
On UNIX/Linux systems we generate a special "Average" processor entity by calculating the average cpu load for all processors. Use this for alerting on UNIX/Linux.

Adam,
If it’s not in the docs, is there anything I can grep around and find? I’m a decent nerd, just point me in the right direction!

Adam,
Essentially I just need to know how to make a checker for processor average CPU (across all cores) for some device types. Thank you!

This pseudoentity is only created on UNIX/windows hosts, where the individual threads are meaningless.
For this just match Average in the processor_descr

Adam,
Thank you, that helps. I was confused on if average was a description entity type or a metric. Cheers.
