Problem firing mails constantly when disk space falls

[Robert_in_MTL]

Hi!

I have some tests that alert me when disk space falls below... lets say 15 GB and this works perfectly: We get the mail.
- The test is done every 10 minutes

What I am trying to do is this:

When disk space falls below xyz (lets say 10 GB) send a mail every 30 minutes.
So... What I did is this: set up another send mail action with an expression to start the action in [advanced mode] with this expression:

(%Reply_Integer% < 10737418240) and ('%SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and (%Recurrences% mod 3==1)

If I remove the Reply_Integer part, it works...

10737418240 is from (10 GB * 1024MB * 1024KB * 1024b) right?
(I also tested with 999999999999 just to make sure)

In the help file I read

for the Reply field containing '12.01 Kb', %Reply_Integer% will return '12298'

So I tried this: ('%Reply_Integer%' < '10737418240'), no luck

And since I read this in the advance mode help:

((%Reply%>200) and (%Reply%<800))

I tried (%Reply_Integer% < 10737418240)

but I can't get it to work.

Can you help me?

You don't need %Reply_Integer%. Use %Reply% variable and compare it to '10 Gb'. Quote from the manual:
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... ncedaction
============================
Advanced mode allows you to use logical expression as a condition that triggers the alert action. An alert action is performed when a logical expression of a condition is true. In these expressions you can use:
* numbers and strings (in quotes). Strings that contain a number plus one of the following unit specificators [ms, Kb, Mb, Gb, %] are compared as numbers, so that '900 Kb' is less than '9 Mb'
============================

So, your expression should be like the following:
('%Reply%' < '10 Gb') AND ('%SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and (%Recurrences% mod 3==1)

Another solution is to setup one more "Drive Free Space" test that should check the disk space and alert you when disk space goes below 10Gb.

Right on!

Thanks, it works!!!

I didn't know that I could compare results including 'KB' with results including 'GB'... Wow!

1 last thing... is there a way to display a math calculation with Macros in an e-mail? (ex: display the result of (%Recurrences% mod 3==1) that would show 0 or 1? ... Or ('%Reply%' < '10 Gb') that would display true or false)

Thanks for your time

No, it does not work in this way
