Creating an advanced alert based on OID

I'm trying to create an alert which polls the CPU utilization of some Palo Alto PA-5000 firewalls. As you can see in the image below, I'm using the correct OID for polling the CPU utilization.

Based on the values in the second column (which is the CPU utilization in percentage) I'm trying to create an advanced alert:

Based on these conditions, an e-mail should be send whenever the CPU utilization of the firewall rises above 0% (for testing purposes). However, for some reason this alert is never triggered.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks

Are you using npm v10.7 or higher?

I'm running version 10.6.1. I don't think I'm allowed to upgrade.

v10.7 or higher - you can override the default OIDs with your custom OIDs for CPU, Memory and a lot more. You wouldn't have to setup alerts like these as the out of the box CPU, memory alerts will cover it.

Your version - maybe you need to specify the poller name instead of OID
