Initially I created an alert trigger to notify whenever there was less than 10% free disk space left on any servers I monitor. This worked fine until I started getting requests from users asking to change the alert threshold on particular servers. I started going down the road of creating additional alerts for particular servers and filtering them out in the default alert trigger. I stopped myself and thought there must be a better way. I managed to find this great post on Thwack http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/41978
It was exactly what I was looking for. I went a created a new custom property called "Disk_Threshold" with a text/numerical value and I'm trying modify my trigger condition to look like this
Type of Property to Monitor: Volume
Trigger Alert when any of the following apply
Trigger Alert when all of the following apply
Node Status is not equal to Down
Service is not equal to ABC123
Volume Type is equal to Fixed Disk
Disk_Threshold is empty
Volume Percent Available is less than 10
Trigger Alert when all of the following apply
Node Status is not equal to Down
Service is not equal to ABC123
Volume Type is equal to Fixed Disk
Disk_Threshold is not empty
field Volume Percent Available is less than field Disk_Threshold
My issue is configuring the last complex condition "field Volume Percent Available is less than field Disk_Threshold" I can't set one field without the other field changing back to *
I can only get
field * is less than field Disk_Threshold
or
field Volume Percent Available is less than field *
I have a ticket open with SolarWinds support but I'm not getting any traction at the moment. Has anyone else run into this problem? Do I need to possibly change the property of my alert or the custom property itself? Any help would be much appreciated!
