Email notification about low disk space for a specific drive

Hi,

What I am trying to do is send an email notification when a disk reaches a certain percentage (free). I'm not interested in changing the alerting settings as that goes to our incident response team and they have stipulated 97% is when a major incident occurs. I would like to act much faster than that by sending an email notification at 90%. Just wondering if this can be done through 'Settings' or is this more for Workflows.

Hi @badgerfifteen ,

you can create custom metric event and set thresholds 90%

In Settings->Anomaly Detection->Disks,

you can do that configuration environment wide:

You can also define at the host level: Go to Settings for the Host->Anomaly Detection->Disks
and there you can even set specific thresholds per detected disk.

Finally, you can try out the new Disk Edge feature:

@badgerfifteen

You should first Create Custom Metric on that host/path... (put specific title)

Create Alerting profile and attach the previously created custom metric (put tile as filter)

and the end, create notification by email with this Alerting Profile

This seems like what I want. Where would I find this specifically again?

Go to settings -> anomaly detection-> metric events.
create new one and set the required thresholds.

I hope this helps
