Hi, thanks for your question.

You can generate an alarm on the CPU Load sensor by using a Notification Trigger. In the sensor tab, go to Notification Triggers, and add a Threshold Trigger which activates when the Total % channel is above your desired threshold, for at least 1800 seconds. Then have the trigger respond as desired.

More info can be found here. I hope this gets you started.

Hi, no problem. The CPU Load sensor is SNMP - you'd need to install the SNMP daemon for this to work in Linux. Instructions for that are here.

Unfortunately, there aren't any SSH CPU Load sensors available in PRTG at the moment. Hope this helps.
