trap process and stats at load

[stevew]

I want to be able to trap the process(s) that are causeing a high load, so if the load average on the server is >3 (say) then show me the process(s) causing it (list), has anyone done this with Zabbix?

I guess it could be done with a script on a tight cron that checked for load and once tripped wrote the process queue (top or similar) to a file, but I would really like a way in zabbix

I apologise to bring up this old thread but is there a way using zabbix to do what TS requested initially?

Regards.
