NIC Low Disk Space Alert - How?
Under Views -> Manage Views -> Customize Alert Configuration, I am trying to create an alert on the NIC System that determines if the hard drives falls below 30% of total disk space. Specifically on drive E: or drive F:. I am using the message:
100002:01
{ <program>: Disk | Disk } capacity <fld1> percent on drive <fld2> is exceeding shutdown <fld3> percent <@msg:*PARMVAL($MSG)><@level:*SYSVAL($LEVEL)>
I have filter that is:
WHERE Field 1 LIKE 100
AND Field 2 LIKE E
OR Field 2 LIKE F
AND FIELD 3 LIKE 30
Have I created this alert properly? The output action is an email to me. Right now, I do not get an email when we get to the 30% of free space.

I know there's probably a lot of different ways to do this, but what works for us is to set the Notify% (overview, system config, directories, manage storage locations) to the desired capacity of where the alert should start notifying you, in your case 70% full, and then simply alert on NIC System message ID 100009. Attached is the alert we use. If you have your E: and F: drives identified as available enVision directory paths in the Manage Storage Locations page, this alert should work for you. Be sure to turn on alert suppression for this in your view, as it will fire every minute or so. Cant recall the exact frequency off hand but its a lot. Likewise, mine outputs SMTP with just a few basic fields as an sms txt msg to my crackberry. It's served us well, hope it helps.
