Different Alert thresholds for different temperature sensors of the same cisco device

Hi ,
We are using the Observium subscribed edition 0.14.9.5814 and trying to set different alerts for *different temperature sensor types* *of the same cisco device*, but could not find a proper method to do that.
Please find the annexed screen-shots of the alert config. that we tried, and it matches all the temperature sensors (there are about 6 types).
We are looking for the way to differentiate these sensors to set different threshold levels.
Kindly let us know if there is a way to do this.

Hi,
Thresholds should probably not be set in alert checkers, but in the sensor config on the device. Then alert on the sensor_event metric.
Also, it's pretty logical it matches all temperature sensors, as you've set the entity match up to ... match all temperature sensors. You can add a second match for the sensor_descr if that's what you're looking for.

Hi Tom,
Thanks a lot for the info.
That sensor_descr did the work.
Thanks, Supun.
