Email Message to Reads Bits instead Megs

[nedo]

Hey all i want to make a small change in the email alerts header (subject) i get for the threshold when ever it breaches a treshhold it reads in bits instead the of the correct way i have it in the graph

see graph or attachments can this be changed in any of the plugin threshold files to match whatever the graph reads

thanks in advance

Create a CDEF and apply it to the threshold

Can you provide an example of what the CDEF should look like?

[cigamit]

CDEFs are just math functions, just convert Bits to Megs. This would probably work.

cdef=CURRENT_DATA_SOURCE,1024,/,1024,/,8,*

But this will just show the value, without the "M", correct? What if the speed is only 80K? Is this the only way to represent the exact number that appears on the graph as illustrated in the above pic?

Yes, correct that will only show the value. The problem is, thold doesn't know what type of number it is looking at, nor does it truly know exactly what format you are wanting it back in. It just looks at the raw numbers.

I could execute a lot of SQL queries, and determine what CDEFs the graph template is using and how it formats it, whether it is suppose to use base 2 or base 10 to determine the number, etc... or whether it is even suppose to output "pretty numbers".

Thold may one day be at the point where it has pretty human readable numbers, but its not there yet and its not high on my lists of things to actually implement (thold v1.0 is radically changed)

Until that point you will just have to remember that if I have a 3 or .080 in your traffic thresholds (which you applied a Bits to MBs CDEF) means the traffic is in MBs.
