What are the threshold raw values ?

[extragornax]

I'm trying to experiment with thold but it is totally not working because I receive alerts when the port is either at max or at a random number for no reason.

So ! What are the "Current value" ? Bytes, bits or something totally not logical.

I went over hundreds of topics and never found any answer.

Please help. thank you

Thold doesn't know what the number is, and it doesn't care. It is just taking the number gathered by the poller for that particular graph. So honestly it completely depends on what your device is returning via SNMP. For graphs like traffic graphs that are "counters", the poller is returning a counter that we then subtract from the previously returned value. This number may be bits or bytes.

Can you give us an example of what the graph displayed and what the current thold value was for that particular graph? Most of the time you are just dividing by 1024 a few times and if you see you need to convert it to bits, multiply by 8.

Also to note, the data returned by thold will be a little more exact then the data in the graph. Your graphs are using default RRAs that will average out the data (which is why I changed all mine).
