exlude alerts for DVD drives on Logical disk space available rule
Hi,
I have created a new rule to monitor the drive space available in megabytes using logicaldisk topology for my windows Hosts. The rule is also trigger alerts for CD/DVD drives. I would need to exluded them from monitoring/alerting. Please guide if you have any idea how it can be exluded/ignored.
Scope query I am using : LogicalDisk : host.agents.type in {'ActiveDirectory', 'ExchangeAgent', 'WindowsAgent'} With spaceAvailable property. DVD drive alerts are ignored if I use LogicalDisk capacityavailable property. But it shows the free space available in % which I dont need.
No Events found!

Go to Administration -> Tooling -> Script Console, and paste the following into the query box:
LogicalDisk : (host.agents.type in {'ActiveDirectory', 'ExchangeAgent', 'WindowsAgent'}) and (detail.writable != false)
select 'Do Query' and Let us know if that succeeds.
(It just worked for me)

Are all of the drives D: or other such letter? You could then just exclude that/those letters in the scope. Otherwise it would take a little more work since you have to look at each logical drive and remove those that are CD (query the properties)

No. There are different Drive letters like A:,D:,S: etc. I tried to eclude it from the scope, but I am not sure where exactly and how to exlude it in the scope. Here is the line I have in my scope to monitor AD,Exchange&windows servers. What exactly I need to add in the scope to exclude the drives.
LogicalDisk : host.agents.type in {'ActiveDirectory', 'ExchangeAgent', 'WindowsAgent'}
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I am getting the below error while validating this scope.
Scoping query is invalid: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Type 'foglight-5:Windows_System_FileSys_Table:12' does not have a property with the name 'writable'

I am sorry to say that, I got the same error when I run this from the query box.
QueryException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Type 'foglight-5:Windows_System_FileSys_Table:12' does not have a property with the name 'writable' - 3/14/13 2:33:15 AM
Please check your query and retry.
Thanks.
