How do you handle simultaneous disk-alerts from the same host?
Hi,
How do you guys handle multiple disk-alerts - for example 2 simultaneous C and D-drive critical alerts on the same host? AFAIK when the C-drive reaches critical level, the "disk"-column turns red, alerts get sent etc. But when the D-drive also reaches a critical level, the "disk"-column is already red, thus its not a status-change and alerts wont get sent. How do you guys handle this situation?

I use this: https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php/monitors:fs-test
If any disk goes non-green, this script (running on the Xymon server) dynamically adds extra dots for every disk (named fs_root, fs_usr, fs_<mountpoint>) and colours them accordingly. Once the disk(s) have returned to normal, the extra dots are removed.

This looks very nice - is there anything like this for Windows - for bbwin?

It runs server-side, so there's some chance it will work. I think the
only UNIX-isms might be that it changes "/" to "root", and it probably assumes that filesystems look "/like/this" instead of like "C:". But give it a go and see what it shows. You can run it with "-d -d -d -y -m name.of.host", and it will set debug level to 3; operate in dry-run mode (not send updates to Xymon); and only operate on the specified host. If it doesn't work, send me the output and I'll see what might need tweaking.
