Alert disk space except machine type

Hey guys i'm trying to create an alert to get an email when the disk space of any servers get under 10gb but i don't want this alert to pop out for a specific machine type.

Right now my alert is checking every C:\

But is it possible to exclude windows 7 from this alert ?

The alert is looking for a volume not a node, and when i tried to add the condition when Node "Machine type" is not equal to "Windows 7" its not working.

So is there a solution to fix this ?

Just to add some context now I'm back in front of my computer:

You might want to consider that the 'is not equal to' is a negative query and isn't the most optimal. Depending on the number of Machine Types you want to capture you might be better off with something such as 'Contains - Server'.

you can use custom property in this scenario. Create a new custom property and tag that to your Windows 7 Machines and then include the condition in the alert to not search for devices having the newly created custom property.

Don’t put the filter in the trigger conditions put it above in the selection criteria - instead of use all nodes.
