| | I have created an Active Monitor for Percent Free on C in the Active Monitor Library. I have now gone to an individual machine within WUG and am trying to use that active monitor on this particular machine. However, I am having trouble when trying to create the action. I can tell it I want to create an email action. However, when I get to the screen to select a state change, I am not presented with one that would match anything like a threshold has been met or exceeded. I am obviously missing something here. i would appreciate any help I can get. |

| | The threshold was (should have been) set in your active monitor (you should use 'range of values' and entered the high and low, anything outside the high/low will be considered down). The Action is triggered when WUG determines that the device/monitor has entered the desired state (down, down 2 minutes, or any other state you defined in Device States). Daniel Donnelly |

I did set the threshold in the active monitor. The problem is creating an action. In order to create an action, I have to be able to assign a state change. All of the state changes are for a particular monitor being down or up for a specified length of time. I have no states for when a particular threshold has been exceeded. |

| If the value returned by the active monitor is outside the range you specified, the result is "Down"
So if I set up an active monitor using WMI to retrieve the %disk free space performance counter, and I set the range as between 5 and 100, if the value returned is <5 (%) then the result is that the monitor will return a "Down" state.
At least that's my experience after messing with WUG for a few hours today. |

Thanks. That gives me something to try. |

| | The "Down" state turned out to be the answer I was looking for. The email alert worked perfectly. |
