Auto Discovery missing items

Votes:

Hi,

I have just upgraded to version 8.2.1.1931 and have added a brand new Windows 2008 server Device.

To this new Device I have added sensors for WMI Uptime, WMI CPU Load, WMI Memory and WMI Free Disk Space (Single Disk) for the C: drive and then I customised the Notification/Threshold Triggers for WMI CPU Load, WMI Memory and WMI Free Disk Space (Single Disk) All appear to be working normally.

Next I created a Auto Discovery template from this Device and used it to add a new Device, again a Windows 2008 server, but have discovered some issues with this.

Firstly, the Free Disk Space (Single Disk) Sensor was not auto-created

Secondly, looking at the Notifications/Threshold Triggers for Sensors WMI CPU Load, WMI Memory I see that the Primary Channel info is missing and the drop-down menu is empty.

What has happened?

Regards,

auto-discovery triggers wmi

The WMI Free Disk Space (Single Disk) Sensor cannot be saved into a device template, due to technical reasons. Please use the WMI Free Disk Space (Multi Drive) Sensor instead.

As for the missing Primary Channel, this was a bug in the version mentioned. Please update to the latest version to fix this.
