Ignore discovered file system by name?

[rblumenthal]

Hey folks,

I am running the Zabbix agents on Windows Server. Is it possible to ignore specific drive during the file system discovery if the drive named 'Paging'? We have a D: drive on older machines that was dedicated for the paging file but do not use it anymore so we can't just ignore all D: drives. Any insight or tips would be great. Thanks

Hello

On the Template OS Windows, you have 3 Discovery rules.

On the Mounted filesystem discovery, you have to add a filter to ignore the drive name.

First, create a regex : Administration => General => Regular expressions (dropdown list on the top right)

Give it a name like : Fsname to ignore for windows discovery

Expression : Result is false, ^(D:)$

Then go to Configuration => Templates
Click on Discovery on the Template OS Windows line (or whatever you named it)

Click on Mounted filesystem discovery and go to the Filters tab

By default, there is :

{#FSTYPE} matches @File systems for discovery

Select "And" on Type of calculation

Add :

{#FSNAME} matches @Fsname to ignore for windows discovery

Click on add, update, and it should be ok

Ok thanks, I will give that a try. Would that ignore all D: drives? Does the discovery get the name of the drive instead of just the letter (ie. Local Disk, Paging, Data, etc)? Thanks

Yes it will ignore all D: drives.

The discovery return something like this :

"data":[
                {
                        "{#FSNAME}":"C:",
                        "{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS"},
                {
                        "{#FSNAME}":"D:",
                        "{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS"},
                {
                        "{#FSNAME}":"E:",
                        "{#FSTYPE}":"NTFS"}
]

If you want to ignore D: drive on specific hosts, you need to apply the filter at the host level, not on the template

Ok thank you
