Configure a threshold on a DataPoint Alias? or other transform?

Here's the issue...

I have several linux hosts with core counts ranging from 2 to 16

The current OID used to pull load is showing the accurate 5 min load average. Which can range all over the map for these hosts. The issue here comes down to the threshold to alarm for high load. a load of 2 on one of the 2 core systems should be alerted, but a load of 2 on the 16 core systems should not.

I am looking for a way to make the threshold relate to the number of cpu's on the host.

A Data Point alias looks like the right place for such relative math transform: ${here/hw/Processors},/

But I can't see how to make a DataPointAlias part of a Threshold.

Ideas

I would like help with the exact same question. Although I gave up on using SNMP to monitor linux nodes. For one the default template uses a deprecated OID for CPU Idle percentage data, but regardless of that the SSH linux load threshold has the same shortcoming that you described for the SNMP monitor.
