Automatic adjustment to filesystem trigger based on total disk space
Dear people
We use Zabbix 5.0.16
Today we use the official "os windows agent by Zabbix agent"-Template to monitor our windows servers if we need to adjust the total space on our disks.
LInk to Template:
Normally the template trigger comes with a static value for GB. ( ie. Warning-trigger has value of 10gb ).
Using static values is insufficient due to unequal HDD-sizes throughout our servers.
Using a %-value would be awesome. But with static percentages comes another problem.
Let's say a warning trigger should occur if available disk space reaces 20%.
20% of 100GB would be 20GB and this trigger would be fine, but 20% of a TB are 200GB, and this trigger would come too early.
It would be awesome if the percentage trigger is adjusted with the current total disk size.
I actually found something familiar, but on Check_MK. Link: https://docs.checkmk.com/latest/en/i...l#magic_factor
I researched a bit found the formula for the specific magic factor and the key to automatic adjusting the trigger, but the formula contains calculations on potency-basis.
As i found out, zabbix is not able to calculate this thing.
Now i want to ask you, do you have something familiar set up on your zabbix?
How should the trigger expression look like?
Thank you!
Ruben
