OpsMgr: Logical Disk free space alerts don’t show percent and MB free values in the alert description

Oops, there IS an override UI called TimeoutSeconds (sorry) so that should do it!

I see that in the newer MP 6.0.7026.0 though, the System Drive Warning MB Threshold is 500 (not 200 as per the Addendum MP) so I will override that too as I presume this is higher in the new MP from more recent lessons learned/feedback/testing.

Kevin, can you please confirm that this Addendum MP is safe to use with the new OS MP version 6.0.7026.0?

Thanks and again, sorry for the incorrect info initially posted.

Regards

Following up on my original question, firstly I was wrong about this being a rule, it is actually timing out on the monitor "Logical Disk Free Space" which is what is in your Addendum MP...but the issue remains, there is no UI to change the duration/timeout as far as I can see?

Cheers

Hi Kevin

Is this still valid for the latest OS MP (6.0.7026.0) ? I have been recommended to import your MP to address an issue where I want to increase the script running duration from 300 seconds on the % Logical Disk Free Space 2008 Rule for a very large volume on a file server (as this times out), however there is no UI to override this value and another social.technet member has mentioned your MP could be the answer?

Oops, found the problem, member in the group didn't seem to be right, re-added the member which search from windows server 2008 class, then recreated the override, it is working now.

Thx

Hi Kevin,

I am having problem with low disk free space monitor override on my SCOM 2012 system, I created override for Logical Disk Free Space for monitoring windows 2008 R2, as POC, I created a group with that windows 2008 R2 server as the only member in it, also I am only using error MByte threshold and error % threshold. When this override target to Windows server 2008 Logical Disk it works OK, but if the target is the group I created, it doesn't work.

The base OS MP verion is 6.0.6972.0

Do you see the reason of this?

@ Hare Krishna Agrawal

That is a GREAT request. I dont have such a thing built, but It would not be terribly difficult to do, using the existing addendum MP I published.

We did add similar functionality to this, in the lastest base OS mp, because we added an aggreate rollup monitor which can be used for critical rollup and critical alerting, then warning alerts from the child unit monitors.

Hi Kevin,

I need to create two monitors for Logical Disk which alerts when monitor is in Warning and Critical state respectively. This will address issues where SCOM doesn't sends a notification if the state changes from Warning -> Critical or Critical -> Warning. This is essential as we have integration with Incident Management.

Also in my monitors I wanted to add the %free space and free MB available. I tried creating Unit monitors using Windows Performance Counters but when I tested your MP, it was using Microsoft.Windows.Server.2003.Addendum.LogicalDisk.FreeSpace.ModuleType.

Do you have any MP which caters to both these requirements.

This is like asking too much, but wanted to check if you already have.

Thanks,

Harry

@MuradAkram -

We dont change the management packs for a different SCOM version - the BaseOS MP is the same between versions. All MP's for the time being will be written to work with either version of SCOM. So - the answer is no - this has not changed for SCOM 2012 CU1.

Hi Kevin,

Do you know if this is changed/updated in SCOM 2012 CU1?

Thanks - Murad
