Is there a way to turn off "Alert me when volume has less than 60 days of capacity left" for physical memory and virtual memory?

jdunne

Memory spikes seem to throw this off so I'd rather just monitor disk volumes. Thanks in advance for your help!

Just add

Volume Name does not contain Memory

as a condition on the alert.

Do you know how to do that with a custom SQL alert?

Oh, right. I forgot that would be a custom SQL alert. Unfortunately I don't know how to do that. Sorry.

Simply open the Web Based Alert Manager [Settings -> Manage Alerts] search for the alert (I searched for "capacity"), then click the "Enabled (On/Off)" from "ON" to "OFF" for the "Alert me when memory has less than 60 days of capacity left" alert.

VolumeType = 'Fixed Disk'

Try that in your custom SQL alert. or

Volumes.Caption NOT LIKE '%Memory'

I tried this but it says query condition is not valid for the two setting below. I’m trying to find the build in Volume SWQL properties. Any ideas?

I think the OPs issue is that if the node resource "Real Memory", which is classed as a volume, is monitored (it is by default?) then the Volume Capacity alert is still triggered. The answer may be not to monitor these node attributes and use OS memory values instead?

hi Jdunne

i know this is an old thread but i found it while trying to fix this for myself. i found that adding the following to the SWQL string allowed me to remove a string

AND VolumesForecastCapacity.DisplayName not like '%memory%'

this worked a treat for me
