Disk Thresholds

[Ayman Altounji]

I've successfully applied disk threshold settings to all the servers in our domain. Several exceed those thresholds.
How can I set up a device or event query to list all servers that have exceeded the threshold.
The Rising Threshold passed attributes do not seem to work.
What does (ver 1) etc. refer to and how can I find detailed information about these attributes.

You can setup an Event Query to find all Rising Threshold passed events in the system. When defining the query, select all of the versions (ver1 and ver2). The different versions are what can be sent by different versions of the agents. I would suspect most of your systems are sending the ver2 edition.

I've the same problem. Running XE I've setup Disk Thresholds on several systems and I never get any alerts. Even setup a query w/o anything showing up as well.
I even reset the thresholds from control panel and also tried an across the board set of thresholds. No change.

Side Note: I've no little icon by my "File Space Used" link on web page to the server(s) in question. Installed like ALL the agents and such..

I don't think I have ever seen an icon next to the "File System Space Used".

However, this is what I have done to make the Rising Threshold work:

1) First I made sure my SNMP settings on the XE server were set to accept SNMP traps (properties of the SNMP service).

2) In XE, I set up an Event Query called "Rising Threshold". Select "Event(s) of type", click on the word "type" and checkmark all versions of Rising Threshold Passed. Save the query.

3) Although this is may be a redundant step (but I'm superstitious), I set up an email notification task called "Rising Threshold Task" with a subject of "Rising Threshold Notification". I associated the task with the event query from step 2, and chose "when new devices or events meet the query criteria". Save it.

4) I filled my drive with large files and 'enjoyed' my rising threshold emails.

Note that you won't be able to distinguish disk-related from other types of rising threshold events. I believe all such events use the same trap.

Also, the titles I used for the query, task, and email are probably not relevant to the functioning of the event notification process, but help for documentation.
