Skip certain volume label or drive letter in the Guest Storage Space Utilization script

Hi,

just a small correction: this is not Report, but Alert.

To exclude certain mounting points, configure the alert. In the Scope, where is the Search Query add "-vm.vol.mountPoint:S" (without quotes). Replace S with drive you want to exclude, this also work with for example /var/lib string.

Hi,

i wan´t to do that for a vm. Is it possible to remove a storage alert for drive letter x on a vm and drive letter y on an other vm? I do not wan´t to exclude it totaly.

Only a specific partition on a specific vm.

I think the certain guest drives can be filtered out from the alert. When you edit the Guest Storage Space Utilization alert, go to Criteria tab, 'Base Alert On' change to Attribute. There you may specify a xpath query  - something like this:

count( /virtualMachine/diskVolume[./mountPoint/text() !='D:\' and ./freeSpacePercentage<5])

Also change the Units to unit, aggreation function to Count, and change 'Triggers On' to 'Range', check Greather than > 0

This example should skip VMs, where only disk D:\ is nearly full.
