Has anyone experienced a situation where you have devices that alert on their disk usage even though the usage is below the threshold you've set?  Our filesystem threshold is set to 95% and if I restart Zenoss I'll sometimes have a long list of devices complaining about all of their filesystems with utilization as low as 1.9%.

I'm seeing this on Linux and Windows devices.  We're running Zenoss 3.1.0.

Thanks,
John

Can't say that I do on 3.1.0. How did you end up setting the threshold? Make sure it's doing the math right maybe?

Looks like my problem was related to the fact I had transforms setup to change the event severity when I should have been making that change in the threshold itself.  I realized that error and went back and fixed things and haven't seen these alerts since.
