Change the way alert values are shown (##.## GB vs ## GB, ## MB)

ericds134

Right now our alerts (as well as last result) are all showing 120GB, 130MB as opposed to 120.12 GB.

Is there any way to change it to the latter? The former is deceiving.

Are you saying that it's reporting the value rounded to the nearest 10 as opposed to the actual value to the hundreths decimal place? What values are these alerts for? Physical memory? Commit memory? Drive space? Or something else?

This is for WMI phsyical memory, disk space, anything where they are showing GB.

Let's say my available disk space is 30.1 GB.

Instead of ipMonitor saying "30.1 GB" free... it will say "30 GB, 100 MB".

This is very odd. Can I change this formatting? Often times I will think there is just 100MB free! ipMonitor should be like Windows and Linux that report free space using decimal points (in USA).

Anyone agree?

I confirmed with the team, ipMonitor has been doing it like that forever. The bandwidth monitor’s Last Result value will report the transfer in GB and whatever is left over in MB instead of using decimals.

I agree this is very odd, especially for a disk space monitor. Does the fact you have being doing it forever means you can't/will not change it? It would be very useful to customise the %monitorstatus% token.
