Node with warning, that has no alert for the warning

JoachimT

A node reports

"Node is Warning.
Volume 'E:\ Label:Test_Data EAC66492' has state: Warning."

In the summary of the node I see

"Active Alerts on This Node (0)"

In the alerts in the summary I see

"All Alerts this Object can trigger (7)"

Log Analyzer Agent Overloaded

Log Analyzer Agent is overloaded

Where does this warning come from? How can I find the alert it uses?

Go to Manage Nodes and find the node with the node/s you want to modify thresholds on. Expand the carrot/twisty and select the volume(s) you want to modify and click 'Edit Properties' from the top menu. There you can edit thresholds for one or more specific volumes. Also note that fractional percentages are supported. So if you can set thresholds like 0.4% if you are working with very large volumes.

Ok, I found out its the child (the disk) that reports the warning. And it seems to do that because its 80.5% full. But I dont see which alert is reporting here. The only alert active is "Alert me when the free space of a volume is less than 5%". Where does the warning with 80% come from?

It's likely coming from the thresholds defined on the volume. Alerts do not impact status. Rather, status is what triggers alerts.

But how can I work with that? I need to have a threshold of 5%. Best a threshold of 5%, but a minimum of 10GB or a maximum of 1TB. (the later values overide the 5%). But I would happy to just find out how to set the threshold for this particular disk to a different value, % or fixed.

I need to override the values in "Thresholds & PollingGeneral Settings" per object, but "Disk Usage" does not even allow me to unselect it.

JoachimT

I changed the threshold to 90%, but still get the warning of 80% in the summary of the disk.

It obviously took some minutes to propagate that, Now its green. Still im stuck with setting an individual threshold here.
