Disk anomaly detection on the host group level

Babar_Qayyum — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:30:46 GMT

Dears,

Is it possible to implement low disk space anomaly detection at the host group level? The goal is to establish custom metric thresholds for various mount points. Each host group comprises approximately 30 to 40 hosts, each with multiple mount points, making it cumbersome to assess them individually.

Regards,

Babar Qayyum

Won't help disk edge alerting?

Hi @Babar_Qayyum ,

Yes, it is possible to implement low disk space anomaly detection at the host group level in Dynatrace. You can configure custom disk-detection rules specifically for a host group to monitor low disk space and other metrics.

To establish custom metric thresholds for various mount points across multiple hosts within a host group, Dynatrace provides a scalable approach using custom disk-detection rules. This allows you to define thresholds at the host group level, avoiding the need to configure each host or mount point individually.

Thanks.
