Ability to Configure different alert threshold for disk space for different drives on the same node

The ability to configure different alert threshold for disk space for different drives on the same node. What I'm trying to say here is that lets say I have set the general disk threshold as 75% on a node but I wan't the threshold for alerting for the D drive on that node to be 95%, I should be able to do that. One might be able to accomplish this using a custom template creation, but this should be available on the volume landing page itself for configuration.


I have servers in my environment which have say a 20GB disk and a 200GB disk and if I apply a lets say 75% usage threshold (Orion General Threshold) then it isn't feasible for the 200GB drive which might still have about 50 GBs left. This is just an example of numerous scenarios in which this requirement comes in handy.

  • That is exactly what I'm looking for here, the ability to configure a distinct critical drive usage threshold for multiple drives on the same server and as soon as it reaches the critical state to throw out an alert, just that I need it for each drive that crosses the critical threshold on a server.

  • I could be saying it wrong, but essentially I want 1 alert for drives.  Then to be able to go into the drive and set a percent for the drive that is indicated by the person responsible for the nodes.  I want to go into each drive and set a percentage for (not familiar w/ the correct term) let's say "drive threshold".  So set c:\ = 90, g:\ = 80%, etc on that node/drive's web interface....then a single alert to say , if threshold set on a drive is reached, then trigger an alert.   At the moment we have a ton of drive alerts that seems ridiculous.  Some servers have like 8.  emoticons_sad.png

  • Thanks but this one alerts on the status of the disk threshold set via Orion general thresholds and not on the status of the Volume Capacity Planning status which just shows up in the console and doesn't even correlate to a  column n the database for the Volume Capacity Planning/Forecast database tables.

  • I think this may be what you are looking for.

  • aLTeReGo This is how I want to set up our environment.  People before me set individual alerts for a ton of stuff, and most was set at 90%, 95%.  If i set thresholds on the drives themselves in Orion, what would the triggers in the alert need to look like?  I don't see the options in alert manager.  I was thinking something along the lines of if that planned capacity threshold is met, trigger.  Then I could just have 1 drive alert, instead of 60, and just go through the tedious task of setting drive thresholds on the node's drives. All i see is what is below.  I would prefer it be "if volume_Critical_Threshold is equal to or greater than what was set" to be the trigger action.
