Is there a way to create an alert to monitor the drive space on just the "C:\" volume on servers?
This is the alert I would like to add the condition to..........
The following alert trigger condition would alert you if any of the "C:\" drives in your environment had less than 5% space available.
Thanks for the tip Alterego, I have another question...
How can I define all of my servers but have it include the name of the particular server in the subject and/or body of the alert e-mail?
The only way I currently see to do this is by defining a Node Name equal to for every single server in which case I will know the server name and can include it in my e-mail template.
${Node.Caption} use this variable in the message where you send out an email.
That worked! Thank you very much sir.
If I do not include a Node Name equal to will this trigger low disk alerts for any nodes in the database? I only tested using a specific node.
Thank youu Vinay .
dreamtfk - it would defn work. yassine89
Awesome. Wish I could think of all questions at once! How can I alert for all drives and not just C:/?
My system admin tells me some servers are databases with multiple drives.
If I used an asterisk would that mean all?
aLTeReGo has already answered your question (you would find it at the top of the discussion) , just remove the last line from trigger condition , which is 'Caption starts with C:\' - that will work for you.
I suppose I should have clarified, I also want the drive letter to appear in the e-mail alert.
I added the volume description variable and it did the trick!
Using the Volume ${FullName} or ${Caption] macros in the email message body text would be my recommendation.
SAM comes with an out-of-the-box pre-configured alert that's applicable to all volumes by default entitled "Alert me when the free space of a volume is less than 5%". It's not enabled by default, but that's a simple matter of checking the box.
