Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Regarding what you would like to achieve, I invite you to configure the WMI Free Disk Space sensor to only use the limits defined in the channels settings. Doing so will allow you to monitor disks without triggering any alert for them.

To configure the sensor that way, I invite you to open its Settings tab and then enable the following options:

  • Percentage Limit Check: Only use the limits in the settings of the percentage channels
  • Size Limit Check: Only use the limits in the settings of the byte size channels

Afterwards, make sure that the channels corresponding to the disks which should not trigger alerts do not have any limits set.

If you have questions, do not hesitate.

Regards.
