offline Discs

Which Trigger can i use to check if the drive (for example D is online or not?
Tried it with {Host_1:vfs.fs.size[D:,free].nodata(30)}<5G but it still is ok even if the drive is offline.

I don't think there is a default item for that, you will need find a command that will show the status (I googled a few but don't have an offline drive to verify) then either run that command with system.run or create a UserParameter for it.

for what is this Trigger "nodata"?
i thought it triggers when nothing received?

[coreychristian]

Does your system actually receive no data when the drive goes offline and not just zero's? If it receives no data then you can use a no data trigger, though the formatting isn't correct.


To alert if you haven't recieved data for 30 minutes it should look like the following.

{Host_1:vfs.fs.size[D:,free].nodata(30m)}=1

You would then need a second trigger if the space dropped below 5GB

{Host_1:vfs.fs.size[D:,free].last()}<5G
