We return an "average" fake-cpu on unix systems. This might be useful to extend to others, but there is the issue that on some device types it might be difficult to distinguish between cores used for control plane and cores used for data plane.

Also, you should definitely have a delay set for processor usage.

If you're talking about servers, we already return an "average" fake-cpu for this. You should NOT alert on anything other than the "average" fake-cpu on such devices.

Hi Cameron,

You just need to create an association for Linux hosts to match only processor_descr of Average :

http://take.ms/B2Bqq

The "average" fake cpu should exist on everything that uses HOST-RESOURCES-MIB (i.e., anything you'd use as a server or a desktop!)
