 >>> I created a new template for this device. A Cisco-7825. The latest 
Call Manager software runs a Linux based OS, but stripped down (so you 
cannot install hobbit client or anything). However the hardware is 
actually HP not cisco so the usual Cisco MIB's do not work for CPU load 
average etc I have to use host resources MIB such as found on 
http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/HOST-RESOURCES-V2-MIB.html. When I get 
this working I will post the template. I am fairly new to hobbit so 
apologies if I am leaving out any obvious information. Here is the disk 
portion of the template I have just tried to but disk test has now gone 
purple and is no longer reporting in. Attached is the template that does 
work without the graph.

transforms -

DiskSize = {hrStorageAllocationUnits} * {hrStorageSize} / 1024
DiskBlocks = {hrStorageAllocationUnits}
DiskBlockSize = {hrStorageSize}
DiskSizeUsed =  {hrStorageUsed} * {hrStorageSize} / 1024
DiskAvail = {hrStorageSize} - {hrStorageUsed}
DiskPerUse = {DiskSizeUsed} * 100 / {DiskSize}

Thresholds -

DiskPerUse    : yellow        : 90   : Disk utilization is high
DiskPerUse    : red           : 95   : Disk utilization is critical

messages -

TABLE:plain,noalarmsmsg
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
{hrStorageDescr} {DiskSize} {DiskSizeUsed} {DiskAvail} {DiskPerUse}% 
{hrStorageDescr} {DiskPerUse.color}

oids - (tried these as both leaf and branch)

hrStorageDescr : 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.3              : leaf
hrStorageSize 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.5                  : leaf
hrStorageUsed 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6                : leaf
hrStorageAllocationUnits 1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.4 : leaf
