How to create a notification email re: Volume Monitoring

Hi,

I need help in creating an email notification for Volume Monitoring the will be triggered if the remaining disk space is less than 90%. I've been trying to insert Variables to depict this but, unsuccessful.

If you have a template I could use, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Sonny

There's a Canned (Out-of-the-box) alert "Alert me when the free space of a volume is less than 5%" that you can copy and use as a template. just change 5 to 10.

Or are you asking about wanting to insert something in the E-Mail alert itself?

This article provides steps on how to create a Volume alert.

Click Submit to Save.

Hello Geoff and d09h,

Thanks for your help! I was able to set up the volume monitoring using your recommendations plus the template given to me by Ed. Which is:

SUBJECT: ***PROBLEM ALERT*** - DISK: ${NodeName} - ${Caption} is at ${VolumePercentUsed} % full.

MESSAGE:

Node Name: ${NodeName}

Node Type: ${Node.Type}

Status: ${Status}

Comment: ${Node.Comments}

${Caption}

Total Size: ${VolumeSize}

Used: ${VolumeSpaceUsed}

Free: ${VolumeSpaceAvailable}

Percentage Used: ${VolumePercentUsed} %

Reference

Alert Name: ${AlertName}

Thanks again!

Sonny
