Hi, Iâm 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. Iâd like to get diskspace events for all the other partitions, for obvious reasons, but Iâd like to suppress events for the pagefile partition as itâs just spam.
However, I canât 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... -- James -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=14506#14506 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
