How to handle dvd drivers and removable storage

[Tristan]

Hello,

i have about 300 hosts within my environment. Sometimes one of my co-works use the cdrom player. If he doesn't remove the cd, zabbix noticed this, and enables this item(example: drive E) The problem is that there is no free space on the cd, so i get a trigger.

Is there a workaround for this? It is to much work to disable the Trigger for drive E within each host, because i have a lot off hosts witch actually have a drive E

Disable this trigger on hosts, where drive E exists.

You will notice that he said...

One idea which comes to mind is to setup local script which returns which drive the CDROM as either A, B, C etc. Then rewrite your trigger to include something which checks weather or not that drive is the CDROM as given by that script. Each script would need to contain this.

Another would be to use the API... :-D

Here is the trigger I use:

{Template_Windows:vfs.fs.size[d:,free].last(0)}<10000 & {Template_Windows:vfs.fs.size[d:,free].last(0)}#0

Usually if you are running out of space, its not going to be exactly 0 or go from 10% free to 0 in a single check

Does sombody know if this is fixed in zabbix 2.0?
