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.
