I can create a global collection for Filesystems, but each Filesystem must be explicitly defined. So across my infrastructure of 1000 servers, I may have 100's of different filesystems (windows alone may have from c: to z: + anything defined using \\sharename). That is crazy to try and define and update each one. In 6 months time we may decide to change our defaults from 90% full to 92% full. Update 100's of global collections to do it?
So basically the answer is No. Sure, all UNIX servers will have "/". But I want to define a global collection saying "*" warn at 90% full, panic at 95% full. One rule to handle every Filesystem. I would then define exceptions on a case-by-case basis. SUN-ORACLE-01 - /oracle, 95% warning, 99% panic. Etc. If you want to get fancy you could also create a rule like /oracle* 95% warning, 99% full to take care of all your database servers.

Example: Find all servers that have a process called monitorme.exe that is running, then create a global collection for any server that has this running and also monitor it for active status. -----Original Message----- From: Craig Cook [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2009 11:19 AM To: spectrum Subject: RE: [spectrum] Filesystems Monitoring in Spectrum 8.1 This request has been rejected.

If anyone else considers this a useful feature please log an enhancement request and reference this case to make it easier for them to see the customer requests 18006723 02 - ER:WILDCARDS IN FS MONITORING Apparently eHealth can not do wildcard Filesystem monitoring either. If anyone has an alternative solution I would be interested to learn about it. Thanks Craig -----Original Message----- From: Craig Cook Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 9:19 AM To: spectrum Subject: Re: [spectrum] Filesystems Monitoring in Spectrum 8.1 This actual answer to this is "it depends". There is currently no way to define a global default for all filesystems. Wildcards are not accepted as a Filesystem name. I have an enhancement request logged to get this fixed. Currently you can monitor the "c:" on all servers by using the method mentioned on the wiki. That is okay. What happens when someone mounts a new Filesystem called "e:"? It will not be monitored. That is not okay. Sure, you can go through and define c:,d:,e:... etc, but that is crazy. What happens when someone mounts \\nas\newshare ? What happens in the unix world, I can mount /u01, /u02, none of those will be monitored. In a "customer pressure" move I'd be happy if lots of others log the same enhancement request ;) Craig >Christian Schneider >Mon, 02 Mar 2009 03:02:09 -0800 > >Hi Gaurav, > >As you can imagine, several users worldwide have this wish and of >course it is possible.
