set alerts at 80%

[Joey]

How do I override the default alerts for exchange? I want it to send alerts
on anything over 80% like CPU. How can I do this/

The easiest way to do this is to create a new Unit Monitor targetted at the
Exchange class that you want to monitor.

Hi Steven

Have to disagree with that as answer. If the monitor already exists then why
recreate it rather than set an override??

Joey - if you are already getting alerts and you want to change the
thresholds then when the alert comes up, you can see the monitor or rule
that generated the alert. You'll need to set an override to change the
threshold. CPU monitoring is set against the Windows Processor Object
(performance \ cpu percentage utilisation monitor). You can override
existing (default) thresholds and set your own thresholds there.
