False alarms monitoring disks
-
I am monitoring a numebr of disk on Windows file servers. I have set a low disk space threshold of < 5% free space (for last 10 polls) and a no disk space threshhold of <1% (for last 10 polls). Occasionally I will get an alarm that disk space is low (it will give a value of 1000% or more). When I check the actual values for the last couple of days they are all above 9%. After these events I do not get a deactivation event occuring (even though the value is greater than the threshold) so I have to terminate the alarm manually. Anyone got an idea what may be causing this?

Please show screenshots of threshold configuration.

Is this what you need?

And what DCI metric is used?

I am monitoring the FileSystem.FreePerc DCI metric.

Misconfiguration on my part. Inother DCI was using the same event.
