Alerting on Volumes Question

Greetings THWACK looking for some thoughts on alerting for volumes

Current Setup

I have three custom properties setup with floating point numbers for my volumes so I can set per node what full is.

I also have setup a custom property to assign a node owner for alerting on each node.

I setup three different alerts for Warning, Critical, and full.

So say the drive space shoots up to 98% full which to send out just one alert and not all three? I think there probably is but I am not sure where to start looking for instructions. 

Thanks -Dave

  • I use the Custom SQL Alert (Advanced) option under Trigger Condition and use the following query:

    SELECT Volumes.FullName, Volumes.VolumeID FROM Volumes

    INNER JOIN [dbo].[VolumesForecastCapacity] ON volumes.caption = [dbo].[VolumesForecastCapacity].instancecaption
    INNER JOIN nodes ON nodes.nodeid = volumes.nodeid
    WHERE volumes.volumepercentused >= [dbo].[VolumesForecastCapacity].WarningThreshold
    AND ([dbo].[VolumesForecastCapacity].CurrentValue < [dbo].[VolumesForecastCapacity].CriticalThreshold)
    AND volumes.VolumeType iN ('Fixed Disk','Mount Point','FixedDisk','MountPoint')
    AND nodes.UnManaged = 0

    There's probably a better way, but I haven't seen any posts on it.

  • Hello  ,

     is correct, you just need to fine tune 2 alerts (Warning & Critical) amongst the 3 that you have setup.

    I setup three different alerts for Warning, Critical, and full.

    1. Volume Full Alert - Trigger condition -> Volume Utilization % => Volume Full %

    2. Volume Critical Alert - Trigger Condition -> Volume Utilization % => Volume Critical % && < Volume Full %

    3. Volume Warning Alert - Trigger Condition -> Volume Utilization % => Volume Warning % && < Volume Critical %

  • Defining the range for each threshold/severity also works well for me.
