We use Zenoss for system monitoring and few backup servers will use 100% of NIC bandwidth from 17:00 to 22:00 everyday.
I hope there is a setting to allow me to setup different threshold for different time period but did not find any.
Does Zenoss support this feature ?
Thanks
From what I recall there is no direct way to do this in zenoss. But i found this interesting zenpack. I haven't tested it yet but the description appears to be relevant to what you ask, which is time based threshold values.
Please have a look here:

let me know if it works.
You can write/edit event transformation, which will drop your high NIC utilization events for selected devices and selected network interfaces during defined time window. It's not nice (it's hardcoded) and flexible solution, but it should work.
