Volume Space Alert to Include all volumes on system in one E-mail

shocko

Say I have a system with 5 volumes and an alert against the volume type when it's free space goes below 10%. If each of these volumes goes beneath this threshold I get an e-mail for this volume indicating this condition. All good. However, I have been asked if the alert e-mail can contain a list of all volumes on that system i.e. if any volume goes beneath this threshold we still get an e-mail that triggered for that specific volume but also contains the free space values for all volumes on this systems.

How might I go about this? I guess my action could trigger a script to build the e-mail and this script queries all volumes for that NodeID using SWQL or the like?

@shocko, you're probably right in that you'll have to do a custom variable, one of the downfalls with custom variables is that it only returns one value, but this Thwack Article shows how you can get it to return more than one and display kind of like a table. I use it often when writing alerts to display the child dependencies of the node that has gone done, so it could easily be repurposed for this.
