I  have an Observium question - I am looking to create an alert for Palo Alto Networks firewall's session count, ideally one that fires when the session percentage goes above 85%.

How would I build such a checker? I have tested a couple of different ways, and not been able to get one to fire.

The MIB contains references such as:

        panSessionUtilization OBJECT-TYPE

                SYNTAX      Integer32

                MAX-ACCESS  read-only

                STATUS      current

                DESCRIPTION

                        "Session table utilization percentage. Values should

                        be between 0 and 100."

                ::= { panSession 1 }


...can I build an alert based on panSessionUtilization?
