Hello there:
Just built a new system w/ CE version 17.9 on Centos 7.2 . When I create/run the following Alert Check, it shows as 'OK' for my devices:
processor_usage greater 90 * *
When I go to a device and view graphs, it shows a device w/ 100% CPU utilization
No errors in logs/db.log.
Is my syntax incorrect?
Thank you.

Lack of screenshots will practically guarantee no one is going to try to work out what you've done wrong.

These are "device" alerts not "processor" alerts. The entity type is important!
If you recreate them as "processor" type (as they are in our examples), they'll work.

So it should look like:
processor_usage greater 90 * processor
Thank you.

No. You need to delete the checker and create it again. You cannot modify and existing checker type.
When you create the new one, the very first pull-down menu called "Entity Type" needs to be changed to Processor.
Then populate it with your original settings/conditions.

What Michael said!
Metrics and attributes are defined per entity type. Processor metrics only exist on the processor type.
