MIBs in Zenoss will drive you crazy. You spend a load of time trying to get 
them all loaded and then you find out they aren't good for much. 

First, do your self a favor and load this ZenPack:

It will help ease the pain. I hope the Zenoss folks make this a part of the 
standard distro.

Second, I don't have a complete solution, but maybe I can help you get it 
figured out. We do a lot of SNMP checks here and they almost always require we 
set up our own commands to do it. The key is finding the OID. In the link you 
sent, they used the name 
'CISCO-FIREWALL-MIB::cfwHardwareStatusValue.primaryUnit' There is a numeric OID 
that is the equivalent and you'll need that. 

I use a external third party mib browser to find what I'm looking for and then 
copy the long number into the OID field in the datasource. (Google 'mib 
browser', there are a ton out there) With the mib-browser plugin, you can test 
the OID before moving on. If you have the mibs loaded into Zenoss, you can use 
the mib-browser zenpack to find the OID.

One you have a datasource with a datapoint, you can use the thresholds to send 
the alert.

I'll watch this thread if you have any questions.
