The file system instances can be grouped based on one or more matching criteria. You can use wildcards to configure utilization thresholds for each file system group. The configured thresholds are applied to all the file system instances of that group.

You can also create more file system groups, add new matching criteria, and configure the thresholds for each file system group.

This can be done in the Matching Criteria tab for the selected File System group in the Polling and Thresholds screen.

Sample file system groups and matching criteria lists the sample file system groups along with their matching criteria.
