How to Setup NPM alert for Hard Drive low disk space only, not for RAM

In the scope of your alert, set it to something like this:

VolumeType BEGINS WITH Fixed

The full enumeration is actually "Fixed Disk" but there is a known issue where certain vendors will use "FixedDisk" instead of "Fixed Disk" (same thing happens with "Network Disk" btw)

Hope that helps!!!

Any Ideas, Thanks

You're confusing the Volume Name with the Volume Type. They are different columns in the database.Volume Type is an enumeration from the hrStorageType OID defined in RFC 2790 and has some distinct options for values (RFC 2790 - Host Resources MIB))

It should end up looking similar to this:

Side note- I always thought that was a Solarwinds module and not vendors issue. How would vendor mix up the enumeration across both snmp and WMI sources?

Gotta love those vendors
