 This script is run from scheduler periodically, sending notification on
 health related events:
 
+* high CPU load
 * voltage jumps up or down more than configured threshold or drops below limit
 * power supply failed or recovered
 * temperature is above or below threshold
 
 Note that bad initial state will not trigger an event.
