Dear All, Is it possible to deactivate the low disk space anomaly detection at the hosts group level? ![Babar_Qayyum_0-1790754649048.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/7/d/7d29fa93b1fe58242fbdec6e0095f241e5683ec5.png) Regards, Babar Qayyum ---

I think you can achieve this by using Custom disk-detection rules at the host-group level > **[Settings API - Disk anomaly detection rules schema table](https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/dynatrace-api/environment-api/settings/schemas/builtin-anomaly-detection-disk-rules)** > > View builtin:anomaly-detection.disk-rules settings schema table of your monitoring environment via the Dynatrace API. > **[Adjust the sensitivity of anomaly detection for infrastructure](https://docs.dynatrace.com/managed/dynatrace-intelligence/anomaly-detection/adjust-sensitivity-anomaly-detection/adjust-sensitivity-infastructure)** > > Adjust problem detection sensitivity for infrastructure. ---

Dear [@Mohamed\_Hamdy](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/4007) I appreciate your feedback. I do not observe the identical on/off mechanism. Rather, we must decrease the percentage and sample limit parameters. Furthermore, even if I adjust the value to 0%, alerts will still be activated. ![Babar_Qayyum_0-1790757828048.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/7/7/77a7561bfa61c659c397a32676030e84ccf5d2ca.png) Regards, Babar Qayyum ---

Hello [@Babar\_Qayyum](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/22017) , you can create the rule and disable it, Disabled custom disk detection rules will exclude all matching disks from environment settings ---

Dear [@Mohamed\_Hamdy](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/4007) I appreciate your comments. Are you suggesting that the aforementioned custom rule, which has been created and subsequently disabled, should perform an equivalent function for the hosts group? ![Babar_Qayyum_0-1790760495000.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/0/09997181a29a82ac06e982ff22db6567996c0ff5.png) Regards, Babar Qayyum ---

Hi, I would try to use disk edge as much as possible. It would be the most flexible option. Best regards ---

Hi, Using Disk Edge instead, where you can filter by host metadata and by filter disk, to create logic you need. Best regards ---

Yes, exactly. You can create a Custom disk-detection rule at the host-group level and disable it. As indicated in the UI, disabled custom rules exclude the matching disks from the Environment-level disk settings. For this specific requirement, this should be the simplest approach. You can also consider Disk Edge, as [@AntonPineiro](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/58682) mentioned, Dynatrace highlights Disk Edge as the improved disk anomaly-detection mechanism, and Disk Edge policies can also be configured at the Host Group level. One possible Disk Edge approach would be to create a Host Group policy with a condition that can never realistically be met, for example: Available disk space (MiB) below 0 > **[Host monitoring with Dynatrace](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/observe/infrastructure-observability/hosts/monitoring/host-monitoring)** > > Monitor hosts with Dynatrace. ---

Hello [@Mohamed\_Hamdy](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/4007) I appreciate your feedback. I am proceeding with the “Available disk space (MiB) below 0” implementation with optimism that the desired outcome will be realized. Regards, Babar Qayyum
