Datastore low free space alert

krisj25

Will VMAN trigger a datastore low free space alert if the VMs attached to the datastore are allocated over 90% of datastore capacity using thick disk or is the alert triggered when actual stored data (OS, apps, files, etc) reach over 90%

This will be triggered based on the actual stored data. The alert definition simply looks at the space being utilized on the datastore and when it reaches 90% it will trigger.

@serena How do i get the Hostname part of the alert for datastore alerts? I dont see any variable listing...

@pratikmehta003 I think the problem you are running into there is that a datastore is not always linked to a single host. It is potentially a one to many relationship so you would probably need a SWQL or SQL statement to pull that list back. I am doing some research to see if I can find a query that would work. In the meantime or as an alternative to that you could use the "URL" variable that would include a direct link to the details page for the datastore in the alert email. Then you could click on that and use the AppStack resource in the details page to see which hosts are related.
