Storage profiles

Enabling System Partition allows you to notify when the drive that has the operating system on it is low on available storage. This configuration will find and monitor the system partition wherever it is stored.

You can notify when available storage is below a certain percentage or below a certain amount of free storage in gigabytes. You can choose the priority of notification when storage is outside of the defined threshold.

Enabling System Partition (Excluding System) allows you to notify when any drive partition excluding the system partition is low on available storage. This configuration will find and monitor all drive partitions on a device besides the system partition.

You can notify when available storage is below a certain percentage or below a certain amount of free storage in gigabytes. You can choose the priority of notification when storage is outside of the defined threshold.

Configure Storage Configurations If you want to define specific notification thresholds for different drive partitions.

You can also select the check box for Disable notifications for local storage configurations on the agent if you want to override any device-level storage notification settings. To learn more about setting low disk notifications at the device level, refer to Enabling notifications for low disk drive space

To add a notification for a specific drive partition, click Add Condition and specify the partition name, low storage threshold, and alert priority. Click + Add Condition at the top of the Add Condition pop-up dialog box to add multiple partitions for monitoring, if needed.

When finished, click Add to save the monitor settings to the profile.
