Disk space Alert for Mounted Volumes

nmansour

It seems that SQL Monitor 2.0.0.3780 is incorrectly triggering a disk space alert for mounted volumes (volumes mounted onto empy NTFS folders).

The volume that contains all the mount points is only 10MB, each folder/mount point in this volume actually contains plenty of free space ( > 75%)

Data displayed in the Disk space alert:

Details Tab:
Disk space used: 0.00GB (44.44%)
Disk space available: 0.00GB (55.56%)
Total disk size: 0.01GB

Database files:
it_apps used: 29.18GB (332,054.86%)

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

Are you on default configuration for 'Disk Space'?

If yes, then by default it would trigger for the following:

High : Less than 400 MB
Medium : Less than 800 MB
Low: Less than 1 GB

So since the top volume has less than 1 GB as the total size is only 10 MB, hence this alert is triggered.

Though there looks like another bug where it is saying it_apps used: 29.18GB (332,054.86%). We are investigating this part. But our guess is that we might be comparing the path e.g. c:\mountpoint\ and assuming that it is on c:\. Will update you on this.

Regards,
Priya

Thanks for the response. Yes, the default disk space alert thresholds are the default. I've changed them for all of our "top volumes" to:

High : Less than 2 MB
Medium : Less than 4 MB
Low: Less than 6 MB
