Re: [Devmon] Question on templates

[Stewart, T. L. <Tom...@la...>]

I am monitoring a system called true sight / coradiant that monitors all
of our websites for latency and page errors. The system is configurable
by setting up "watchpoints" and can report the results via snmp. A
simple watchpoint is an error page count for different pages. All the
pages are reported within one branch. As we want to alert with different
values within the branch, we have a problem.

My conclusion for now is: 
I will hard-code the individual oid for each item I want to test and put
it into a separate test directory for hobbit reporting/alerting.

Can you give a concrete example of where you want to use this? Most of
the 
examples I can think of have other means of achieving the same thing
(e.g. 
setting the temperature threshold on a server for a particular probe,
setting 
the speed appropriately on a network interface).

(yes, that does mean that as far as I know, there is no means currently
to do 
per-row thresholds)

However, I think this is a feature that should be added anyway ...
