Hi,
you have several options to achieve this. The easiest one will be to create a Library for this specific sensor type and to create a notification trigger for it.
Library and Notification
- Create a Library for your SNMP CPU Load sensors:
- Choose Libraries from PRTG's main menu and click on Add Library.
- Give it an expressive name, e.g., SNMP CPU Load Sensors and click on Continue.
- On the Management tab, click on Add Library Node.
- Select Root as related object.
- Select Show a collection of (filtered) sensors in the library as Node Type.
- Select Show specific sensor types only in section Filter By Type.
- Mark the entry SNMP CPU Load by clicking in the corresponding checkbox and Save.
- Select the Notifications tab.
- Click on Add Threshold Trigger.
- Define the trigger: "When Primary channel is above 90 for at least X seconds perform CPU notification." and Save.
Now you will receive a notification if one of your CPU load sensors is over 90%.
Alternative: State Triggers via Error Limits
- Choose Sensors | By Type | SNMP CPU Load from PRTG's main menu.
- Mark all sensors in the appearing table list by clicking into the checkbox in the table header.
- Open the settings of these sensors by hovering the down arrow in the multi-edit menu at top of the table and clicking on Settings.
- In the appearing window, change to the Channel Settings tab.
- Mark the Total Channel.
- Mark the checkbox of Limits and Enable Limits (the last settings section in the window).
- Mark the checkbox of Upper Error Limit and enter 90.
- Save your settings by clicking on OK.
- Create State Triggers for these sensors on the particular Notification tabs of the sensors or devices or groups.
