Hi everyone,
Ok I was hoping to find a post about this already since it's a standard part of the WMIDataSource & WMIPerf_Windows community packages that seem to be (or at least should be) widely used, but so far haven't found a post.
I want to be able to set a threshold alert on the absolute value of free disk space (for example 50GB), rather than a percentage of total space.
As far as I can see this should be fairly simple; there is already an alias set up under the included FileSystem template, usedBlocks Data Source usedBlocks Data Point (see attached screen shot)
[For search purposes: ${here/totalBlocks},-,${here/blockSize},*,-1,/]
But how do I use the alias?
I've tried graphing it by creating a freeSpace Data Point with an Alias Set to FreeSpace but no Formula (I've seen this done for Importing other Values from the PerfRawData interface (ethernetCsmacd) template like PacketsReceivedDiscarded which works).
This at least gives an option when adding a Graph Point to a new graph (usedBlocks_freeSpace), but it doesn't seem to do anything (graph doesn't get created).
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Richard
