All questions related to installations, configurations and maintenance of Advanced Host Monitor (including additional tools such as RMA for Windows, RMA Manager, Web Servie, RCC).
I am trying to find a way to alert when disk space free falls at a particular rate - for example a 1% change in free space since the last test was run. I know I can test for total space free, but in this case there is lots of space free, I just want to know when someone starts a big file copy and reduces free space quickly.
Unfortunately this host is a NetWare server and so I can't have an agent on the host box.
I think you may start Nevell SNMP agent and use SNMP Get test method. Probably you may use OID .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.novell.mibDoc.nwServer.nwFileSystem.nwFSVolTable.nwFSVolEntry.nwVolFree (1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.28.2.14.1.4.<index>)
I am already able to get the space free (using a UNC test), what I am trying to figure out is how I can test for the "rate of change" i.e. how fast is the free space being reduced.
Yes, I understand.
As you see UNC test method does not provide such option, that's why you should use SNMP Get test method that provides "relative" comparison modes
