Hi,

I’m having some problems getting Zenoss to suppress diskspace events for a 
specific partition.  We have a number of Windows servers that have their 
pagefiles on separate partitions, which on all of them is assigned drive letter 
P.  This pagefile is fixed-size and takes up 99% or so of the partition.   
I’d like to get diskspace events for all the other partitions, for obvious 
reasons, but I’d like to suppress events for the pagefile partition as it’s 
just spam.

However, I can’t seem to get Zenoss to suppress these events.  I have gone 
into dmd/Devices/Server/Windows/devices/<servername>/os/filesystems/<partition> 
and set the Monitor property to false for all the pagefile partitions, and this 
has removed the graphs of usage for the partition, but I'm still getting alerts 
for these partitions being over 90% full, and it seems Zenoss is still 
collecting data for them.  I then tried removing the rrd databases for the 
pagefile partitions now that the Monitor property was set to false, only for 
Zenoss to recreate the rrd files.

I also tried suppressing the alerts using Event mappings.  I created a new 
event mapping in the /Ignore organizer, using a regex to match against the 
event.  For example, a typical event message looks like:

WEB09 P:\ Label:PageFile  Serial Number 5442b98d threshold of Free Space 90 
Percent exceeded: current value 1040797.00

And that's what I put into the 'Example' field for the event mapping.  I then 
put 'P:\\ Label:PageFile' into the Regex field, and that matched the example 
field (i.e. it stayed black when I pressed 'save' rather than turning red for a 
non-match).  However, then none of these events were filtered by this mapping...

I can delete the filesystem from the OS page for the server, and that solves 
the problem briefly, but as soon as ZenModeler does a run, the P partition 
reappears.  :-(

Am I doing something wrong here?  Shouldn't Zenoss stop hassling me about the 
partition if the Monitor property is set to false?  It does for everything 
else, like services...
