file system usage - which event?

[Laszlo Csizmadia]

It might be a trivial question again but I'm very fresh in this area...
I have a CIM (Insight Manager 7 sp2 consol, running on NT) and serveral client sending SNMP trap to it.
Via the client's web agent I can see the file system usage. That fine.
I want to get alerted when a the file system usage reaches e.g. the 90% threshold. How to configure this in CIM? In other words I would need a query to collect the file systems which usage more then the given threshold. But I didn't find this kind of checkbox or this type of event in the "create new query" window.

I'll appreciate any help...
Thanks.

hi there

This query is not there by default. You will need to create a custom query and create a custom notification task. Hang on a sec I did a prior posting to this. let me find it.

OK
Since I can't find it, I'm going to repost the screenshots on what you need to do to accomplish this.

Follow the templates attached. Logon to each manage client http://clientname:2301 and set the treshold bar to 90% or to your liking.

See the next post for the notification screenshot.

Here is the notification screeshot. It is email based but you can use the same template for other types of notififcations.

One more question:
When I create the query and choose "Device of type" then I can't find in the "Criteria configuration" window (came up if clicking the "type" word) the type "Falling threshold passed, ...".
In which tree is this type located?

Thanks,
Laszlo

BTW it's working with choosing "User threshold". Please look at the attached screenshoot.
I can see the disk space event running the query.
Could somebody explain me what does this rev.1, rev.2 etc. means?

Is it possible to set this kind of alert threshold for CPU utilization? I did find this on http://cliantname:2301. Is there any java based threshold indicator bar as it was for disks?

[Jadrice Toussaint · Accepted solution]

You should not be using device type it should be event type.

rev. 1 and rev.2 etc are just different revision of the mibs. Rev.1 is typically older compaq agents and rev 2 and 3 are the later management agents. So different revisions are there for backward compatibility with the older management agents.

I just looked at your screenshot, you're doing fine. Just check the entire THRESHOLD section not having to worry about the sub folders.

CPU thresholds are not supported the same way as disk threshold in IM. You will need the HP Proliant performance pack for that function and it is not provided for free.
