Edit Resource: Volumes with High Percent Usage

After upgrading NPM from 12.2 to 12.3 I've had an issue with using a filter on the "Volumes with High Percent Usage" resource. We've been using this filter for years to keep a few dozen volumes that it is acceptable to have a volume with high percentage usage out of this table. There must have been a change between these reversions and this has rendered my filter that relies on a custom property value useless. I see that there is a "CustomProperties" SWQL entry under the resource but I have not figured how to use filter with my custom property value.

Does anyone use "CustomProperties" to filter volumes? Can you please provide an example of how you are tying in your custom property value into the filter?

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

Was it a custom property that you were filtering on before? Just wondering what your filter syntax looked like. You can absolutely filter based on custom properties in that resource. How is the custom property setup that you want to filter on? Meaning text or yes/no value, etc. I'm an Engineer with Loop1 and we provide professional/consultative services. I have a bit of spare time today if you'd like for me to work on it with you (no cost). There's a link to my email below. Feel free to respond to the message here or email me directly.

Best,

Ours are broken too -

Example -

Volumes.Caption<>'cached memory' and Volumes.VolumeType='Fixed Disk' and Customer = 'McDonalds' and VolumeAlert is NULL and EnvironmentType = 'Production'

Our filter is (was?) very straight forward: Volume_Monitor = 'False'

"Volume_Monitor" is a custom property we created for Volumes and the default property is false for all our volumes. Since there are only 2 dozen volumes that we want to exclude and they tend to show up during deployment this has worked OK for us up until 12.3.

I opened a ticket with support for this issue but was told filters are a customization that Solarwinds does not support.
