Dennis,
Alerting is a little immature at this point. :) Here are some
comments...

I figured out how to do notifications, but I'm kind of confused.
1) How would I distingiush between an alert for an Ethernet
Interface and a Serial Interface, i.e. is there away to put what
Interface is the culprit in the e-mail or do we have to setup a
different notification for every Interface.
In the format string for the alert add the component like
%(device)s %(component)s %(summary)s at %(firstTime)s
2) Here is an example of a CLEAR message I got:
"CLEAR: Atlanta Atlanta Utilization 75 perc threshold of 48000.0
exceeded: current value 49371.77 at 2006/06/16 11:03:96.194"
Uhm...49371.77 is greater then 48000.0 so why is this "cleared"?
And why does it say "Atlanta Atlanta" (this happens with all of the
notifications I'm getting)
The way clears are happening today made it hard for the alert system
to get the text from the clear so as a stop gap (until 0.21 comes) we
send the original event with a CLEAR at the begining.
3) The "Delay" option when setting up notifications, what exactly
does that do? If I set it to 5 does the threshold have to fail 5
straight pollings?
This is the number of seconds to wait before sending the alert. So
if a box is being rebooted you might not want a page/email. Setting
delay to something like 300 will avoid this.
As I said improvements to this part of the system are coming in 0.21
which is due 8/1 bug #44

Thanks,

I'm trying to get a grip on how notifications are setup.
We have a number of servers that we want to know when certain
drives are
getting full (we would like to be notified when it is above 85-90%
full).
I see that there is a threshold setup for 90% on the FileSystem
template
but I don't quite get how to set up a notification of when that
happens.
Can somebody give me a quick and dirty howto (I don't see anything
in the
Admin guide)?
Thanks,
