FastEthernet0/23 threshold of Utilization 75 perc exceeded: current value 
938339.61

938339.61?  <<< Where is this value coming from? I don't get this value when I 
use snmpget or when I check values against MRTG or Solarwinds Orion to check the %Util.

I'm using a fresh, no mods install of Zenoss v2.1.1 on CentOS 5.

Thanks,

The ethernet counter reports the number of octets that have been counted. Zenoss records the difference between the number of octets reported now against the number of octets recorded 5 minutes ago ((Octets @ t)-(Octets @ t-300sec)) / 300 seconds to show the number of octets per second. Zenoss converts octets to bits per second using octets/8. So your 10 MB/s (10,000,000 mb/s) interface has a 100% utilization at 10,000,000 mb / 8 * = 1,250,000 and a 75% threshhold of 10,000,000 mb / 8 * .75 = 937,500 octets/sec. Your current value 938,339.61octets * 8 = 7,506,716.88 mb/s or 7.507 MB/s
