Custom disk-detection rules: exclude a filesystem

[Babar_Qayyum]

Dear All,

I have to exclude a filesystem. Therefore, I need to know about the following questions:

• Will the below rule exclude/not exclude the filesystem from the monitoring?
• Why do we have an alert and sample limit for the excluded filesystem?

Regards,

Babar

@Babar_Qayyum Looking at what you have set up I hope this clarifies the function.  

Alerting on: Low Disk Space 

Alert if Disk Space is lower than: 3%

Alert if Disk Space is lower than 3% in: 8 samples within a 10min period

This Alert detection Criteria Applies to Host Disk names that: Start with '/patrol'

This Alert detection Criteria Applies to Host Disk names as defined above that also have hosts that include tags: <NONE>

As a result, you will only be alerting on Disks that start with '/patrol' while ignoring everything else for this rule.
