Monitoring for Disk space alerting in Linux VM?

Hi All,

I've got SAM AL license, and also VMAN, I wonder what's the best way to monitor the disk space alert for CentOS v8 Linux VM?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You can either do this from the VMware level which will tell you the disk space of the vm's. My preferred approach to this on 2020.2 is to use to volume monitoring on each specific servers as i find it easier to set granular thresholds for each filesystem that gets detected on Linux VM's. Then when i build my alerts i can use the warning/ critical threshold on the volume being set as true to trigger off the alerts i need.

As with most things in soalrwinds there is a few ways to do it, this is just my approach. would be happy to hear better approaches at the VMWare Layer.

Do you require to use the VMAN license or Solarwinds SAM license?

For both i believe you would get as out of the box for both licences so it doesnt really matter. I think Volume monitoring is done as part of the core product. So should i dont think the alerting and monitoring of volumes would cause any issue for either licence.
