VM Logical Drive Utilization - Excluding Drives

Question

Hello! I have activated the Rule VMW Virtual Machine Logical Drive Utilization. Is there a way to generally exclude one drive letter from alerting (S: - this is the partition for swap files on most of our virtual servers)? exclude a specific drive letter on a specific vm? Thank you very much! Markus Nemetz

Markus, I think I found a way, by altering the scope of the rule, i made this rule:

VMWVirtualMachineLogicalDisk where (name ! like '%S:\%')

this causes the rule to exclude all logical disks where the names are equal to S:\

using the query editor you can also add an extra filter to exclude specific virtual machines, if you want.

I hope this helps !

Regards, Wouter

Hi Markus,
I'm also trying to exclude one drive letter from this alert. So far, I did not succeed in finding the right script.
I hope somebody knows the awnser, and if I find it myself, i will post it here.

Wouter

Hello!
Thanks - now I can exclude S: - but a last question: I want to link this rule only to powered on VMs - I tried to link Scome VMWVirtualMachine with this rule too, but I failed. Can you give me a tip?
Thanks!
Markus
