Hum strange, I have no idea why it's not working for you as it was for 
me. I used it with devmon v0.2.2 and this used to work for me ;)

Yes, it's not a leaf and afaik it has no property and cannot be queried 
but just "walked"

Yes I think you got it.

Just in case, let me explain what it is supposed to do: fuel gauge 
status is given as a string an not as a numeric value so I had to 
transform it into a numeric value to be able to set thresholds.

In oids:
fuelGaugeStatus         : .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.2.10.1.1.1.3    : branch
-> I retrieve all the leaves attached to this oid under the name 
fuelGaugeStatus

In transform:
fuelGaugeStatusNumeric  : SUBSTR        : {fuelGaugeStatus} 0 1
-> Get the first char and assign it to fuelGaugeStatusNumeric (see 
docs/TEMPLATES for documentation on SUBSTR)

Assuming that the SUBSTR is working as intended, what you may try to do 
is to add the following in thresholds:

fuelGaugeStatusNumeric  : green: =1    : Fuel Gauge status is 
{fuelGaugeStatus}

That should force the green status.

A way to test if fuelGaugeStatusNumeric is what we thinks it is is to 
display it:

I am interested in any change you make ;)
