HP SIM 5.3 with Windows WMI and Disk Space Alerts

[Imptech]

I have seen this asked many times but cannot figure out if this is possible.
I have HPSIM successfully pulling Reports from Logical Disk Drives, which includes Percentage Used data, on Virtual Machines.
So, where or is it even possible to have HPSIM send and email if the Percentage Used is above a certain threshold?
Do I have to do this by generating an event in Windows and have HPSIM subscribe to the WMI event?

hi,

you should be able to set disk space thresholds in the smh of a managed system by dragging the warning and critical pointer icons across to the required %age.

Just to clarify, these are Virtual Machines without VMM (Virtual Machine Management Pack), so no SMH. All I am interested right now is up down, which is working, and disk space warnings.

No, this is not possible at this time with HP SIM.

Using wbem/wmi the disk usage data for VMs can be captured by HPSIM in the database.
While you cannot use thresholds you can run reports against the HP SIM Database driectly. You'll need some SQL and scripting knowledge to do it.
HPSIM helps with the SQL as you can create a report that pulls the data you want (or close to it) and get it to show the SQL Statement it used.
