Subject: | Zenoss Thresholds and Hysteresis Possibilities? |

Hello,
We have a threshold defined for file systems at 90% utilization. Sometimes a file sytem will hover right around 90%, briefly going over and then dropping back down, clearing the event. I wouldn't really define the behavoir I'm seeing as "flapping" -- it's not happening a few times an hour, but once every couple of days. I found the following solution to this very problem on Zabbix's blog,http://blog.zabbix.com/no-more-flapping-define-triggers-the-smart-way/1488/, and now I'm wondering if Zenoss can do something like this. According to the article, in Zabbix one can define a threshold to define when a problem starts, and then here's the interseting part: it can also define a condition to stay in the problem state. So for instance, if the 90% threshold is breached for a while, but then drops down to 89.9%, one could define a second condition to not clear the event, and instead wait to send the clear until the file system drops down to, for example, 89.0%. This would cut down on the number of excess events that could get generated when something is hovering right around that initial threshold. Anyone know if there is a way to achieve a similar outcome in Zenoss
Thanks!

I think most people probably use the "Count" field in the event data in their triggers to work around this kind of thing.

That's not Zabbix hysteresis.
Unfortunately, Zenoss doesn't have capability to create threshold with many conditions.
Fortunately, you can use Zenoss event transformation, but it can be very dirty and DB expensive from my point of view.
Devops Monitoring Expert advice:
Dockerize/automate/monitor all the things.

You might look at the Predictive Threshold ZenPack and the Calculated Performance ZenPack - neither do quite what you want but may help.
Cheers,
