How to get alerted when drive disappears

Question

Anyone know what criteria I can use to send myself a txt msg or email when a drive disappears, a NIC disappears, etc? I do see the error below at the time one of our drives disappeared:

Server1-G- Volume no longer exists. Data collection suspended.

Just don't know how to alert based on that. Or the other types like Volume added, volume removed, etc.

Lastly, can someone explain how to have Orion detect new volumes that appear and alert me? Admins often add USB drives, etc and I need to know when and have Orion start collecting basic stats on it.

Thanks!

For the alerting, you're best bet is to alert on status of the items. Most likely you'll want to watch for when the element status goes to unknown.

For the new volumes, you're best bet is to set up a scheduled discovery. With that you'll see new devices, interfaces, and volumes on your network. If you don't want to see a certain device in the results, you can mark it as ignored, and it will stop showing up in your discovery results list.
