Is it possible to set up an email alert to notify me when a range of IP addresses is running out?

I have VLANs defined for the company network here on Infoblox to provide IPs to clients via DHCP, and I would like to know if it's possible to configure warning alerts for when the IP range is running out. For example, in a /24 VLAN with 254 connection possibilities, when there are 200 assigned IPs, I would like to receive a warning.

    If you edit the range in the NIOS UI and then "Toggle Advanced Mode", you will see an option for "IPv4 DHCP Thresholds". I think that is what you are after. It can be set at a range level or at a higher level (e.g. subnet, network container, etc) and let lower entities inherit. Its set based on percentages rather than fixed numbers though. You can configure SNMP warnings and Email warnings.
