For example, I am doing some testing - I have HR pointed at a windows
box, monitoring the Z: drive. All good.
Then, I go to the windows box and I delete the Z: drive. What I am
expecting is IM to alert somehow and say "I don't see the Z drive
anymore"
But what actually happens is that it seems like IM just re-probes the
device and simply removes the Z: drive from the list of drives
monitored, as opposed to noticing that the Z: drive is missing.
I even set the device behaviour to not allow periodic reprobing, but it
still acts the same way.
Could you shed some light on how HR monitors and alerts on disk
availability?
When InterMapper polls the device using the Host Resources probe, it
receives information about the storage devices present. If a storage
device that was present is no longer present for a given number of
poll cycles, it is aged out of the table, so what you're seeing is
what was intended.
I can certainly add an enhancement request for the ability to alarm
on items in the storage table disappearing.
