description:
 Share of the time the CPUs were slowed down because they got too hot (Linux
 thermal_throttle counters of Intel CPUs), throttling events per minute and the
 current average CPU frequency. WARN above 20 %, CRIT above 50 % of the time
 throttled. A clogged fan or dried-out thermal paste shows here early. Rule:
 "Linux hardware: CPU throttling".

discovery:
 One service on hosts whose CPUs have thermal throttle counters (Intel; not AMD,
 not most virtual machines).
