Have you selected the right entity type when adding an alert-checker? It needs to be of type “sensor” , it doesn’t work when you leave it on “device”

Subject: [Observium] CheckPoint alert creation problem

 

Hello,

 

I have a CheckPoint 2205 device. It is supported by Observium, so we love it :D

 

I would like to create an alert for it’s fan speed.

 

I do a normal alert like our other looks like:

 

Device: hostname match *cpfw01*

Entity match: sensor_class equals fanspeed

Test condition: sensor_value greater 3000

 

With this settings if i push a Rebuild, it shows 0 entities.

 

How can i check what is wrong? I tried to change the fanspeed to temperature, but the problem is similar, 0 entities after rebuild.

 

I attached a picture about the graphs of the device.

 

Hmm... if i run a „rebuild” there are see lot of devices but there is no any „FW” devices however we have more whit this FW prefix. May be this is the problem? It looks like this list doesn’t show all of our devices.

 

Thanks
