e-mail alert (action) query

[engineer]

Hi

I have an alert, that when a disk has 1% free disk space, I can an e-mail alert notifying us of this critical situation.

I have it working, but what happens is that any disk with 1%, 10%, 11% etc all send this notification. This is how i have it:

(A) Trigger description like "Disk"
AND
(B) Trigger description like "1 %"

Is there a way to set it so it only works with actually 1 %, and not everything that includes a 1?

Thanks in advance

I don't know the correct way but can you not add a "and not >= 10%" clause. Yuck.

Not sure what item value type and trigger function you are using, bu the proper way to do this is with a value type of float and then compare that numeric value. You are saying 1%, so your trigger would be;

{foo:vfs.fs.size[<disk>,pfree].last(0)}<1.1

Or, if you are not using the pfree option, you could do a complex trigger such as;

{foo:vfs.fs.size[<disk>,free].last(0)}<({foo:vfs.fs.size[<disk>,total].last(0)}*0.011)
