Jason,

For a first time poster this is a good question! :) Unfortunately the answer is that we currently can't do this. Zenoss has simple max/ min thresholds. These can be based on model attributes (the FileSystem template is a good example of this). Clearly we want to add more types of thresholds. I think this would be a great candidate. I have opened a ticket for it.

You could hack a solution for this by writing a zencommand (nagios or cacti format plugin) that reads the two rrd files and outputs the division of the two values to create a new data point which you can create a threshold against.

Hello all,

First Time poster here, obviously. I like zenoss a lot but I have a question on PerfConf Thresholds.

Ok I am monitoring a CMTS, I have two data sources total modems on an upstream port and online modems on an upstream port. I want to compare these two numbers and if online modems drops below 90% of total modems then set off a warning. I have the Data Sources working and Can Graph them without problem. But the min threshold eludes me.

I have tried several different methods and had no luck so far.

Here are my data sources

    Online_Modems     1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.116.1.4.1.1.5
        Data Point
        Online         Gauge

    Total_Modems        1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.116.1.4.1.1.3
        Data Point
        Total            Gauge


I want to set a min threshold that if "Online/Total < 90 " (i.e. if the number of online modems is less than 90% of the total modems) then set off a warning.

Thanks,
Jason
