We calculate them when they're not provided, some mibs do this (usually the extended entity-mibs) and some don't.

You can usually spot observium's autogen'd ones because they'll be weird decimals because of the maths. If they're whole numbers, they're probably from the device itself.

Hi

I thought that the thresholds are automatically calculated and set by Observium and that the device itself doesn't provide them (only the sensor data).

That's most likely because your device is sending thresholds of zero. You can either get the vendor to fix this, or set manual thresholds.

Resetting the threshold only causes it to set it back to what the device is supplying. I'm not sure what other outcome you'd reasonably expect.

Hi

Please see the attached screenshot.
The thresholds are always 0 even after having the reset switch set.

It's not really clear what's happening, and you haven't told us what the "incorrect" thresholds are or why they're incorrect. Sensor thresholds are autogenerated as the returned value +/- a percentage when they're not supplied by the device.

The reset function just unsets any thresholds so that the next discovery process will either set them back to what the device supplies, or autogenerate them again.

The sensors in question should get their thresholds directly from the device :

// HH3C-ENTITY-EXT-MIB::hh3cEntityExtTemperature.8 = INTEGER: 50
// HH3C-ENTITY-EXT-MIB::hh3cEntityExtTemperatureThreshold.8 = INTEGER: 85
// HH3C-ENTITY-EXT-MIB::hh3cEntityExtCriticalTemperatureThreshold.8 = INTEGER: 95
// HH3C-ENTITY-EXT-MIB::hh3cEntityExtLowerTemperatureThreshold.8 = INTEGER: -30
// HH3C-ENTITY-EXT-MIB::hh3cEntityExtShutdownTemperatureThreshold.8 = INTEGER: 65535

What values is your device returning?

Hi

I just noticed that one of our switches produces false positive errors because of incorrectly (auto) set thresholds for its sensors.

I then activated "reset sensors" on the sensors page of the device (there were no values for "min" and "max" set, the current temperature of the sensor is 44 degrees).

In the log i see:

5m 42s swhp58-04 SubCard0 Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2535 SubCard0 [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather)

5m 42s swhp58-04 SubCard0 Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2534 SubCard0 [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather)

5m 42s swhp58-04 Board Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2533 Board [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather)

5m 42s swhp58-04 Board Sensor updated (custom): temperature hh3c-entity-ext-mib 2532 Board [L: Array][Lw: Array][Hw: Array][H: Array] (by user: tstather)

but the warnings are fired again. There is still no value for "min" or "max" for those sensors.

Attached is a screenshot.

What am i doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Thomas
