MEM and CPU alerting

Those high mem and cpu peaks are killing me ! Any way to setup VC alerting to something like: send an email after 30 min of continuous mem or cpu over 90% ?

Thanks

At the top level of your environment (usually), click the Alarms tab and then Definitions. Define what you want to alert on, and where you want the e-mail sent.

Thank you both for your replies.

My issue is not enabling smtp alerting but rather alerting when cpu is over 90% for 30 min (lets say) as oppose to alert the first time the cpu goes over 90 %
