On my current Zenoss 2.5.2 boxes it is possible to create a local copy of the FileSystem template. I use this on some database servers where a filesystem may be permanently above the 80/90% global thresholds. I know that the data there is static so I don't need to be told of any threshold breaches.

Unfortunately I've just discovered in Zenoss 4.2 that you can't override the File Systems template/component for individual boxes which puts me in a bit of a fix. I've found out that you can make a copy of the File Systems template/component (with new settings) and bind it to a specific Device Class, but I don't want to start creating Device Classes for individual boxes.

Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance!

It turns out you can still have local templates for individual filesystems!

When looking at a device, select Components -> File Systems on the left hand menu, then in the File Systems area select the Mount Point you're interested in and in the Display drop-down box select Templates. Then just click Create Local Copy and you're done!

Also this local template will show up (with full device path) under Advanced -> Monitoring Templates -> FileSystem
