    Measuring disk total/free space on Windows

    First of all, Thanks to all that contribute to Zabbix, very nice . . . .

    I have a system that has 2 disk arrays in addition to the onboard drives. Configured as
    C:
    D:
    E:
    F:

    I can get the information from the C and D drives but am unable to get information on Total and Free space for the E and F drives(when I go to the 'Latest data' page there is no data for the E and F drives). I set up the items and triggers the same across all 4 of the drives excluding the drive letters.

    When I go to the configuration of items page the item for the E and F drives 'Status' can be changed to 'Active' but it seems that when the check is actually performed the 'Status' is changed to 'Not supported'.

    Any ideas as to what is happening and/or somewhere to look would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not sure if it's a Zabbix problem or the Zabbix Agent.

    R.

    Increase the debug level on the server and agent and see if that tells you any more

      I just set up monitoring of additional hard drives with success. This is what I did:

      Add an Item to the Windows template:

      vfs.fs.size[m:,free]

      (see screenshot for the other details)

      Then I added a trigger on the particular host that has the M Drive.
      Named: Low Free Disk Space on M:
      Expression: {samplehostname:vfs.fs.size[m:,free].last(0)}<1000

      I can then use this trigger in Graphs and all other areas.

      If you still can not get it to work - possibly the Zabbix agent can not handle the arrays.
