Predictive Thresholds

Hi all,

 

I have recently installed the Predictive Threshold Pack by John Hamilton. I believe I have installed the zenpack correctly on my Zenoss Server (I am quite new to Unix based servers without GUIs - please bare with me), and I want to know how to implement the monitoring. The documentation on the specific zenpack is rather sparse. So if you could walk me through the steps or point me to some more detailed documentation, please let me know.

 

Cheers!

    Re: Predictive Thresholds

    I don't think there's too much to document? You create a threshold in an

    existing template and set the Hold Winters parameters as described here:

    docs/DOC-3408

    for the weighting and colors you like...

     

    That also links to the full RRDTool docs. There really isn't anything

    else you have to do with the ZenPack specifically that I can see. I'll

    have to play with it a bit sometime.

     

    Maybe what you want to do is get some specific thing monitored? This

    would have little to do with the ZenPack though...

    Re: Predictive Thresholds

    Quick point of clarification.  I (John Hamilton) am not the author of this ZenPack, merely the guy who posted the document.

    Eric Edgar is the author of this ZenPack.  Eric and many others will be happy to help you.

     

    Best,

    John H.

    Re: Predictive Thresholds

    Thanks for that reply!

    I have tried to make anew threshold, but I only have the MaxMinThreshold option. So therefore I suspect that I have not installed the zenpack correctly

     

     

    I guess the next question is how do I make sure I have instaled it correctly.

     

    Thanks for all your patience zenoss community

    Re: Predictive Thresholds

    Hiyas,

     

    I am using 2.5.2 and just recently installed this zenpack, all seemed well during install but whenever I try to apply a predictive threshold to a graph; it seems to break that entire page

     

    For example, here I made a local copy of the template for eth0 on the zenoss server, added a predictive threshold (default values) for ifInOctets and applied this threshold to the Throughput graph. Here is the result; when I try to visit the eth0 page I get the error below.

     

    Has anyone seen this? Anyone have any ideas on how fix or bypass this?
