Sorry, disagree!<br>
I can have gigs of space left at 100% not critical at all !!!! Its
not "beyond critical" its fatal if you hit zero free !<br>
Either one needs finer granularity (isn't numerical limits in the
work) or a new fatal color. I have licenses that run near 100 %
all the time too. <br>

<div dir="ltr">The philosophy Hobbit uses for alerting is that you're
okay until you reach a certain threshold. At that point (yellow) you
still have to respond to the event and take care of it, before it
becomes a bigger issue. If it continues, then you reach another
threshold where stuff can (and usually does) break. At this point, you
_need_ to respond to the event.<br>
<br>
What you are proposing is a fourth level such that you are "beyond
critical". This is a similar concept to being "fatally killed" (as
opposed to just being "killed"). The trick to running a successful
monitoring system is setting the thresholds in the first place (which
is easier said than done), such that you don't have any
false-positives, but even more importantly, no false-negatives (i.e. an
alert you should have gotten, but didn't).<br>
<br>
Can you give a more specific example (in as far as I.P./security will
allow) of what you are trying to accomplish?<br>

One case I can think of is for even 100% you've lots of but if you
hits 0 free you HAVE to do<br>
some thing! <br>

<br>
didn't see a reply, so thought i'd do a resend in case it got lost in<br>
the shuffle<br>
<br>
Hi All,<br>
<br>
Two questions:<br>
<br>
QUESTION #1: Is it possible to have a third color alert? Meaning:<br>
<br>
One of my customers wants a setup like this:<br>
<br>
Custom script runs on client server, reports:<br>
<br>
foo : 80<br>
<br>
for example.<br>
<br>
They want less than 85 to be green, 85-90 yellow, 90-95 red, and above<br>
95 any color, say orange.<br>
So far as I can tell, I can only use green, yellow, and red for<br>
alerts, and blue and purple are reserved.</blockquote>
<div> <br>
Currently, no. But it might help to understand why 4 alert levels are
desired.<br>
<br>

#2:<br>
<br>
lets say #1 above is possible, so my script sends hobbit the status<br>
line based on the it sees, with the<br>
status of green, yellow, red, and orange. The hobbit server recieves<br>
it, and uses the NCV module to build the rrd etc..<br>
In hobbit-alerts.cfg to say does the SERVICE keyword work for custom<br>
NCV type columns?</blockquote>
<div><br>
The SERVICE tag in hobbit-alerts.cfg works for any column name, NCV or
otherwise. <br>
