How to exclude only one drive of a server from the alerts
Hi,
Observium Pro: 23.5.12837
We have one Windows Server monitored, which has a usb drive attached to it. I want to exclude only this drive from the hdd alert e-mails (it is full but thats not a problem), how can i do that, please?
Best,
Thomas
Hi Thomas,
if the USB drive should not be discovered at all, you can exclude this via Global Settings -> Discovery -> Storage Discovery via regex or name. (there is also an option to ignore all removable storage but if this option does what you want, I don't know, no experience with it)
If you only want it not to alert, you have to build the alert in such a way that it does not apply to the storage device (eg. In our environment I excluded some mountpoints like this: Storage Description not equals „E:\ Label: Serial Number xyz“)

As Gemeinde mentioned, you can exclude it from alerts by matching some aspect of the entity, it's description for example, or you can prevent it being discovered entirely by doing something similar with discovery.
If you go to /settings/section=discovery/ you can see and modify storage description blacklists by various methods.
We ignore removable, optical and network by default, so this actually shouldn't be listed at all, but I suppose windows isn't reporting it as a removable device!
Thanks, adam.
