I've been working on some advanced alerts for low disk space for a few weeks now, and I've run into a roadblock. I'm trying to filter out drives that are set up only for page files. These are either the P:\ drive or have Pagefile in the label. I've tried two different setups to do this, and both don't work. The first attempt was to add a suppression event:
Suppress if any: volume description starts with P:\ (also tried contains P:\, caption starts with or contains P:\, starts with P, contains page, etc)
When I run this alert I get nothing, zero alerts. Without the suppression condition I get about 15 alerts, with about 3 of them P:\ drives.
My other attempt is to add it to the trigger actions. Since there is no "does not contain" or "does not start with" option, I tried to make a condtion group:
Alert if all: Alert if none: Volume Description starts with P:\ (and other variations as above)
I would think that if it started with a P:\, it would pass a false to the parent group of alert if all, which then passes a false to the trigger and thus not triggering an alert, but I get all the P:\ drive alerts anyways.
So my problem is either I get no alerts or I get all the alerts I don't want. Any suggestions?
