Thold Measurement Help

[hboogz]

I'm unclear how thold get's its number when measuring traffic.

I am monitoring the interface on my netscreen going to my ISP's router (upstream router). I want to be alerted when the traffic hits above 1.0Mb/s but don't know which number to plugin into the template.

Graph:



Thold

Easiest way is to create a CDEF to convert the bits into megs, then you just have to put 1 in the HIGH Threshold box.

Item #1 Special Data Source: CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE
Item #2 Custom String: 8
Item #3 Operator: *
Item #4 Custom String: 1000
Item #5 Operator: /
Item #6 Custom String: 1000
Item #7 Operator: /

Thanks Jimmy.

Two Questions/Issues:

I don't see a "Current Data Source", I see this



Also, within the thold template setup i don't see the new cdef i created, instead i see this.

You will want the Current Graph Item Data Source
