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?

Hi Tim,
At present the way to do this would be to create a custom oid collecting this value, and then alert on that.
Alerting from data we collect as part of the "graphs" stuff is not yet possible (it's super fiddly, mostly because of counters). It's planned for the future, but not implemented yet.
Thanks, adam. On 2019-04-11 03:39:42, Tim Grossner via observium observium@observium.org wrote: 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%.
