Plugin for Disk volume monitoring

Post by kevinmu0206 »

Hi, all:

Are there any plugins that can monitor the hard disk volume on the network and send the alert message through email if the thresholds are triggered? I want to use it to monitor my network disk space...... Thanks! :roll:

Cacti can already monitor the disk space, if your servers run SNMP.

The thold plugin will do the alerting part.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

Hi, Howie:

Do you know where I can find the detail instruction for how to setup the thold to monitor the hard drive on both windows and linux systems? I looked at the forum, but all I found is the segmentation. :(

Thank you,

Does anybody know where I can find reliable scripts that can be used by Cacti to monitor windows based disk volume? I've tried few scripts that I found on the forum, but I am still no luck and I am sure that all of my servers are SNMP enabled. A little help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

If you don't even get the uptime message for the server on the Device page in Cacti, then SNMP is either not running or not set up correctly (possibly a firewall issue?).

If you do get that message, then you can look at the detail of what templates etc you are using.

Do you get the snmp version? It should look something like the attached picture.

And what graph template are you using to monitor disk space?

I am using "Host MIB - Hard Drive Space" to monitor my disk volume.

Looking at one of my Windows servers that is working, I have added the 'SNMP - Get Mounted Partitions' data query to the host, and then use the 'Host MIB - Available Disk Space' graph template.

Mine seems to have less Graph Item Fields that yours though:
