Disk Space Alert

ecrosby

NPM alerting newbie here having an issue. My manager setup a basic alert to inform us when a server has less than or equal to 10% available disk space. I attempted to tweak this to inform us what volume and the amount available. It works but for some reason we are getting alerts informing us of Physical Memory too. This is an example of what we get:

Disk space on "SERVER" Physical Memory is lower than 10%. There is 66 M available.

Attached are screenshots of Trigger Conditions and Trigger Action messages.

In addition to getting the accurate disk information why would we be getting Physical Memory information also?

My bet is that you are monitoring RAM and Virtual memory as a disk volume, and so you are getting alerted on those "volumes" as well. You have two choices:

1. Stop monitoring memory as a disk (WHY is that the default?!?)
2. include another logic line in your trigger for Volume type = fixed disk
   1. OR if you want network, fixed, etc but not RAM and virtual, make the logic "volume type is not equal to RAM" and another for virtual memory.

Hope that helps.
