Hi Hi

I am trying to setup actions/notifications for performance monitors , I had a quick read through the User guide and searched the forum and I've seen posts that says you can do it , but I am unable to find where in whatsup one can setup actions on performance monitor thresholds and how one can change those thresholds ?

If anyone can help It will be much appreciated as this is a wee bit frustrating !

You can't apply actions to performance monitors; only to active monitors.

This means for instance that if you both want to GRAPH disk space usage AND alert when space goes under a threshold, you will need to setup both types of monitors.

That said, there are a few active monitor scripts around (look in the fourm and on the ipswitch support pages) that, instead of polling the device, retrieve from the Wug database data acquired through the performance monitor, therefore avoiding double polling.

Reading, writing and arithmetic - If you need to choose, please take option 1.

Hi
I'm looking for a method to get alerts when the disc space is less then 10%. In this topic you've written to look for in the knowledge base, but I couldn't find the right documentation. Probably I used the wrong "search keywords".
Can you post here the link of the documentation?

It would be great

You have to create a new active monitor, select wmi monitor and then choose "logical disk/percent free space" or something like that, however you can click help button when you will be at this step.... you will be redirected to the right topic in help

Thx a lot
I've added the wmi monitor and it works for the Instance C:\ ....
The standard-help from WuG hasn't got any useful help-topics in their help:/..or I didn't find it.
What must I do if I want to monitor all the logical drives (all Instances, but not de total of all)?

I advise you use this script instead :
http://forums.ipswitch.com/FindPost40800.aspx

It's much more flexible and easy to use than WMI, which can produce false positives, performance issues, and so on...

The script uses the performance monitor samples, so you need to enable the "Disk Utilization" perf monitor.

Hi
Thx for your answer. I enabled the Disc-Utilization Performance monitor, then created an active script in the active Monitor library and finally copied the vb-script. Each time I test the script it gets the answer:

This monitor needs a attribute named Disk_Space_Thresholds to work.

Then I modified the Script in the first line as described:

THRESHOLDS_ATTRIBUTE = "C:\, D:\"

--> But it still doesn’t work
Probably I misunderstood something ...and I haven't a clue in programming VBScript.
I've got WuG installed in W3k and I want do get informed when C or D of the servers have less then 10% disc usage. What must be changed in the script to get the active monitor working?

Could you post the lines which I should change?
It would be great

You must not modify the script, you only have to create a "Device attribute" in the WUG console.
The variable you modified tells the script the name of the attribute it should look for, there is no need to change it.

You have a short explanation (and an example) of the syntax of the attribute at the very beginning of the script.
