    Hi Kevin, I have followed the same steps and have set up the threshold as 20%. I was hoping that I would be getting alerts when free space is less than 20 % but I am getting alerts only when free space is above 20%. How Can i correct that.

    Hi Kevin - Great blog.... We cannot seem to get 'Physical Disk - Availability' working.... I've turned on monitoring physical disks as described here - technet.microsoft.com/.../dd262052.aspx ...afterwards, all we see within Health Explorer of any given server, is that for the Disk 0, 1, 2 etc only the 'Performance' element is monitored. The 'Availability' element is not checked. Can you help? Thanks

    Hi Kevin
    Thanks for your great post.
    I Have HP-UX servers to monitor and everything is fine until we change the servers disks. when we change a disk "Logical Disk Health" monitors State goes Critical. I changed the discovery interval and no luck. what am i missing?

    Hi Kevin
    Thank you for very good explanation. It helped me to understand my problem.

    SQLServerRockstar asked you in 2010, how to monitor free space on LUNS or mountpoints. I have the same problem. I can see the instance, if I select my system directly. If I use "$Target/Property[Type="MicrosoftWindowsLibrary7585010!Microsoft.Windows.LogicalDevice"]/DeviceID$" I only get the drive and not the LUNS which are mounted to the drive. What would be the correct name for the instance?

    Hi, Kevin!

    Very nice this post. I have a doubt...writing this way, will apply to all servers on my environment or just to a machine that I selected? My problem is... We've 6 VMs with OS Disk (C:) and they have others units like D: and E:, all of them are W2K12R2 running on Hyper-V. In SCOM, I can see all others disks of others VM normally...

    @Jean -

    I'm sorry - I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish. Can you explain what you want in detail?

    some of the drive is not triggering the alerts. if we need below 20% free space. we need configure the threshold at 80.00?
