Templates or individual configuration??

[rjorge99]

Hi, I want to monitor different servers; so I want to specify different triggers for each one; for example, one server has 80 Gb of Hard Disk, other 120 Gb etc. should I create a Template for each one?? I ask this because if I want that the trigger turn on when the server reach 70% of Hard Disk use. so for each server the values will be deferents.
Whats the better way to do this; I want to monitor in different servers items in comun, but the trigger, the value of the triggers will be different for each one..

Thanks

hi,
u need only one template, one item & one trigger :
create a template and monitor the disk percent usage of ur disk
then create a trigger when the percent usage is less than 5%

for example, this trigger is for space on partition /data :
my_server:vfs.fs.size[/data,pfree].last(0)}<5

so whatever disk space has ur server, this template can be applied.

aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!


So, can i user Porcent instead of static values?? because i use bytes for example for memory used; and other things, can I use porcent for anything? that will be great!!

it s up to you to choose the data you collect with the agents (e.g vfs.fs.size[/data,pfree]) and to specify in the item definition the unit (%).

if you can collect percent values, you can use percent units !

I read, and for memory I cant collect the values in percent...
Other thing, can I collect data about de ethernet traffic ? I can do that on linux, but for windows I dont know how to do it.

Thanks
