We need to create a threshold with an SNMP query string that returns two STRING values:

The SNMP query always returns one of these two values.How can we create a compatible threshold with Zenoss

All SNMP queries and thresholds that we have, return always an INTEGER value, so it is easy to create the threshold (min-max type). But in this case we dont know how to "parse" string value for create threshold.

I think is possible creating a data source command with .sh script, right

In that script I configure snmpwalk command and then parse result to integer

That would work. Set a default value, then have a CASE statement change it for anything you get. The reason I mention to set a default value is in case you have another value than "Inactive Event" or "Alarm" that you've never seen. Sometimes we don't have a full listing of possible return values.

Exactly, just create a Data Source with Command.

Event Class: /status/perf

Parser: Auto

Severity: In my case is critical (send a mail)

Cycle Time: In my case 3600 secs

Command template: path to your script, in my case /opt/zenoss/libexec/script.sh
