Yes and no... I don't *want* to tweak this, but we have a single server in a remote office in a wiring closet that just barely hits 43C each morning when people start showing up and things start working a bit. It causes a lot of nuisance alerts, so we were playing with massaging the thresholds a bit. > What happens in your case is that the OMSA limits kicks in.

Now that I know what's going on (and how to adjust the OMSA threshold if need be), I'd say keep it where it is. However, if these details were mentioned on the page: http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/check_openmanage.html it would have saved me a lot of time, hair, and such. Could this be added?
