Filter out Volumes that have not exceeded their Volume thresholds in Widget "Top 10 Volumes by Disk Space Used"

For the Widget: Top 10 Volumes by Disk Space Used we use the following filter to only show us Windows and Unix Volumes.

Caption Like '*:\*' OR Caption Like '*/*'

What I would also like to do is filter out any Windows & Unix Volume that has not exceeded its threshold or is Unmanaged i.e. we have a bunch of volumes that the data is static so its fine for these to sit at say 98% usage.

The Show List of Volume Properties in the Edit section of the widget has some properties that may help but I've so far been unable to to find a solution, which on the face of it you would think should be baked into the tool.

So I was hoping something like this would work but I cant get the unmanaged filter to to work and i'm not even sure any of the properties are suitable for the exceed threshold

(Caption Like '*:\*' OR Caption Like '*/*') AND (UnManaged=??) AND (?? for threshold exceeded ??')

So the long and the short of it I just want a widget showing me the Top XX number of Windows and Unix system which have exceeded their Volume thresholds. Seem to remember this taking 5 mins in Zabbix to set up....I must be missing something?

Thanks in advance

@bad93r, are you taking advantage of setting the thresholds for status change? I ask cause that would make this much easier. for unmanaged that's a boolean value in the DB so you can do Unmanged = false to get only those not unmanaged, OR you can do status != 9 (9 is that status for anything unamanged in the environment.

I could not get get Unmanged = false to work however status != 9 did but I suspect it applies to the node status rather than the volume.

Regarding " taking advantage of setting the thresholds for status change" - can you expand as I'm open to all suggestions

@bad93r, within SW you have the ability to define a value at which that volume goes to Warning/Critical status, if you are leveraging that then filtering it out would be as easy as adding "Volume.PercentDiskThreshold.IsLevel1state <> true" then all you would have to do is set the thresholds appropriately for each volume, if you are not then you'd have to add something with more static values or create a common filter that can be used to exclude them from display.

if you want to exclude volumes that are unmanaged you might try "Volume.Status != 9" so it doesnt look at the node status

bad93r

appreciate your help with this but when I add:

Volume.Status != 9

Volume.PercentDiskThreshold.IsLevel1state <> true

to the widget: Top 10 Volumes by Disk Space Used

I get this error:

Custom SWQL filter is incorrectly formatted
