I searched but still having trouble with knowing the syntax to get the cpu-load %.
Am I even close? thanks

:local checkLOAD[/system resource get cpu-load]
if (checkLOAD > 10) do={
:log info "High CPU load"
}

When you are referencing variables you have to use dollar sign: If this variable is not needed later you don't have to create it. You can just write it short in one line: ...and 10% is not a high CPU load.

Hi,
I just didnt think that was the correct way to get the system cpu load because when I set it low like 10% and I know I'm actually higher than that, nothing happens.
thanks!

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish but I had a script to detect average CPU % and reboot if 100% but I quickly discovered if the CPU was running at 100%, it would not run this script correctly and would either not complete or give incorrect average results and not reboot the router?

My plan now to detect if a AP CPU is running at 100% is to run a script on a few CPE's to obtain ping time average to several websites and send email alert if result is above a certain level?
