Re: How to create a notification email re: Volume Monitoring
Geoff Smith Feb 6, 2018 1:20 PM (in response to scarmen)1 of 1 people found this helpfulThere's a Canned (Out-of-the-box) alert "Alert me when the free space of a volume is less than 5%" that you can copy and use as a template. just change 5 to 10.
Or are you asking about wanting to insert something in the E-Mail alert itself?

scarmen Feb 7, 2018 1:45 PM (in response to scarmen)Hello Geoff and d09h,
Thanks for your help! I was able to set up the volume monitoring using your recommendations plus the template given to me by Ed. Which is:
SUBJECT: ***PROBLEM ALERT*** - DISK: ${NodeName} - ${Caption} is at ${VolumePercentUsed} % full.
MESSAGE:
Node Name: ${NodeName}
Node Type: ${Node.Type}
Status: ${Status}
Comment: ${Node.Comments}
${Caption}
Total Size: ${VolumeSize}
Used: ${VolumeSpaceUsed}
Free: ${VolumeSpaceAvailable}
Percentage Used: ${VolumePercentUsed} %
Reference
Alert Name: ${AlertName}
Thanks again!
Sonny
