Modify Sensor Warning/Error Levels

Votes:

0

I would like to modify the alert thresholds for sensors all across the board. One example is for disk sensors, I would like to warn at 10% and error at 5%. I know how to edit this for a single sensor, but how can this be accomplished for either a single group or the entire root?

Hello,

you can do this for several sensors (of the same type) at once using the Multi-Edit.

best regards.

Thanks. I see that now and it appears to successfully edit multiple sensors. I am however still being alerted on the old values. I checked an individual sensor's settings--

Channel: Free Space C: Lower Warning Limit (%): 10 Lower Error Limit (%): 5

These were the only modifications I made during the bulk edit. This individual sensor that I checked is for a device currently alerting in an error state because there is 8% free on the C: drive.

Please bear in mind that WMI Disc Space Sensors do have Limits on the Settings-Tab to have one limit for all drives monitored by one sensor, and then also Limits on the Channels-tab, to be able to have different limits for each drive. Maybe you are now using both limits. Please only use one, either those on the Settings or those on the Channels tab.
