I'm new to Zenoss, am using Zenoss5 and experimenting with the best way to monitor a windows server system. I've tried both WinRM, and SNMP with SNMP Informant. The file system thresholds display the way they should when monitored with WinRM. When using SNMP, they are showing in i'd assume block size which is really useless, I'd rather see this in a MB or GB format.
threshold of high disk usage exceeded: current value 732515059.000000

Here is how the WinRM format looks
disk space threshold: 97.3% used (1.3GB free)

I don't know exactly which method is "better" for windows, it seems like SNMP gives more information.
Is there a way to change how the threshold will show for SNMP I'd ideally like to get an email alert that shows all the values, Total Size, Used Size, Free and the percentage used or something in MB or GB.

Thanks

Hi,

Changing the output in events can be accomplished with a Transform. Transforms are python scripts that run against an event before Triggers/Notifications. There are a wide range of basic transforms on our wiki http://wiki.zenoss.org/Category:Transforms. Though none of them are exact matches for your situation, the "Nice" series of transforms should get you very close to where you're wanting to go.
