I'm trying to modify the FileSystem RRD template so that it collects an additional data source.  The DS is the same OID as the default (1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.3.1.6), but the associated datapoint should be a "DERIVE" instead of the default GAUGE.

I'd like to collect the utilization rate so that I can set a threshold based on the amount of time before the disk fills up. 

It appears, though, that the zenperfsnmp daemon will only collect one or the other datasource if they have identical OIDs.  Is this expected behavior?  Any other ideas on how to collect both the GUAGE and DERIVE values of the same OID?

Thanks,
Joseph

Unfortunately, this is the expected behavior. The only way I could see would be to have the second OID collected via a command datasource using snmpget - which isn't going to scale well...

I’m experimenting w/using the “formula data source” and have it just copy the existing data source...but actually there's 2 problems w/it...

first, it won't run on a distributed colletcor.  second, it doesn't seem to be writing to the RRD file with a DERIVE datapoint type.

There's another ZenPack that's quite similar to that "formula data source" that does work on distributed collectors.

I second that. 404 for me as well. A search of GitHub doesnt turn up anything either.

Not that it helps right now, but I'm pretty sure that zenperfsnmp in zenoss 4.2 supports having the same oid in multiple datasources.

If it doesn't, I'd +1 this as a feature. There have been many occasions when I've wanted to graph  value as well as rates and have had to do command shenanigans to do it.
