WMI Free Disk (Multiple Disk) Alarms

Votes:

0

PRTG Version 9 and version 12. When I setup a WMI Disk Free (multiple disk) sensor over a physical or virtual server, we found an inconsistent behavior.

  1. ) Only first drive (C:) reports as failure.
  2. ) Others drives does not appear in alarm screen
  3. ) Sometimes figures are mixed: values from C: Drive appears as to be assigned to D: drive.

Could you help me with this? We don´t want to use individual drives.

Regards Luis

Hello, I am using PRTG version 14. When I get alerts about WMI Free Disk (Multiple Disk), it says the following:

Sensor Disk Free 11 (WMI Free Disk Space (Multi Disk)) Status Down Last Result 113,496 MByte (Free Bytes B:) Last Message 2 % (Free Space D:) is below the error limit of 3 %

Both Disk B: and D: are mentions on the alert but only disk D: is affected. How can I fix this? thanks

rossallen,

What is the actually error or discrepancy in your screenshot? Please bear in mind, that the sensor has a primary channel, this channel serves the value that you usually see in the data tables, regardless of other channels on the sensor (even if the other channels may trigger an error limit).
