The CPU utilization check for Linux only allowed to set levels for the disk wait percentage. The parameters have been converted to a dictionary and now allow to set levels on the total CPU utilization as well.

Please note: if you have defined the variable {kernel_util_default_levels} in your {main.mk}, then you need to convert this to a dictionary - otherwise it will be ignored. Instead of

main.mk

kernel_util_default_levels = (10, 20)

... please now write...: main.mk

kernel_util_default_levels = { "iowait" : (10, 20) }

Users of WATO are not affected by this and do not need to change anything.
