This all sounds exactly right. You should understand that the "Min"  
value you specify for the threshold is the minimum allowable value. So  
if the polled value is anything less than 3000 it will generate a  
critical event. If the value is anything less than 2000 it will  
generate a warning event. 535 is obviously less than 2000 and 3000, so  
both events will be raised.

I feel like I'm missing something on this one. Please feel free to  
correct my thinking.
