Alert for port-channel summary?

Hello,
We have Cisco Nexus switches with VPC configuration. On the switches are configured a portchannel (in VPC with 2x10G ethernet) to the same 3. device.
The problem is: I would like to create an alert if the traffic to the 3. device more than 8G I have to get an alert. Now because the 2 nexus just show only the own port-channel traffic, if one portchannel traffic on switch#1 is 6G and on the switch#2 is 5G the 8G alert doesn’t work. But because of the redundancy in this case I have to get an alert because the aggregated traffic is 11G (and if one of the 10G goes down this traffic is overloaded).
The alert is:
Test: ifOutOctets_perc gt 80 Device Match / Entity Match Hostname match *switch* ifAlias match *to 3. device*
So it cover the switch#1 and switch#2 and the port-channel interfaces with description “2x10G to 3. device” but this alert check the port-channels like a line not an aggregated traffic.
Is there any option to add two device’s interfaces and create an alert for this summary?
Or can I create an alert for a port group aggregated traffic? This would be great in this case too.
Thanks

Hi Lazlo,
At the moment there's no way to do an "aggregate" alert like this.
I'll have to think about how something like this can be accomplished...
