PRTG Maximum values set in custom sensors

Votes:

0

Hi,

I'm using PRTG for monitor CPU usage in F5 devices. I am able to get the values in the PRTG. My question is how to configure the maximum possible value in the graph.

For example, if CPU usage is 3%, the gauge should show 3% out of 100%. But currently it is showing as 3% as the maximum.

Simply set the upper error limit to 101%: 

<LimitMaxError>101</LimitMaxError>

No luck. after setting the upper limit values to 101%, the Gauge showing me the end 106%.

How this calclulation would be done? If i set for 95% upper error limit, the Guade showing 3% out of 100%. But i'm not sure what basis i need to put 95 as the upper error limit. Also for another device sensor, i need to put another value.

Note that the upper error limit can only be set upon sensor creation, did you think of that? :)

I am using OIDLIB file to create the custom sensor. I didnt get any option to set the upper limit. After the sensor creation, I am able to modify the upper limit from the sensor settings and there im facing the problem.

Am i doing something wrong here?

Sorry, I was wrong here - it won't work properly to set the scales of a gauge. It will always use the max value received as the end of the gauge.
