You can configure thresholds for individual filesystem instances. A default group called FileSystem is available. The utilization thresholds can be configured for each filesystem instance. As a result, a host with multiple filesystems can have different thresholds defined individually for each filesystem instance. Each filesystem instance is monitored individually.
The thresholds defined in the System Resource Group serve as the default and may be overwritten by values in one of the new FileSystem groups. If a filesystem instance belongs to a particular group, it inherits the group’s threshold settings. In case it does not belong to any group, the thresholds in the System Resource group that the device belongs to will apply.
When new filesystem groups are created, they do not have any matching criteria and are empty. You can add new matching criteria and configure the thresholds for each filesystem group.
-
For the selected filesystem group, change the priority In the Polling and Threshold console > Matching Criteria.
This can be done in the Matching Criteria tab for the selected filesystem group in the Polling and Thresholds window. Each filesystem group is placed in the order of priority in the Polling and Thresholds window. You can change the priority from the Priority tab. The matching of the filesystem instances begin from the highest priority group and continues in the order of priority. A filesystem instance that matches a group is not considered for matching with the remaining groups.
Note:When creating FileSystem groups, you can use the sample filesystem groups and matching criteria. VMware Smart Assurance IP Manager Reference Guide provides a list of sample filesystem groups and matching criteria.

| Events |
Utilization threshold |
Description of threshold |
Default value |
Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HighUtilization
Note:
Severity level: Major |
MaxUtilizationPct |
The percentage of total size currently in use. |
95%
Note:
User can change this value for each filesystem instance. |
This event is generated when the utilization threshold exceeds the configured threshold value.
Note:
This threshold has greater priority over the ModerateUtilization event. |
| ModerateUtilization
Note:
Severity level: Minor |
ModerateUtilizationPct |
Moderate threshold for percentage of total size currently in use. |
80%
Note:
User can change this value for each filesystem instance. |
This event is generated when the utilization threshold exceeds the configured threshold value. |
| LowAvailableSpace
Note:
Severity level: Minor |
MinAvailableSpace |
The available space is less than the minimum available space. |
1024
Note:
User can change this value for each filesystem instance. |
This event is generated when the utilization threshold exceeds the configured threshold value. |
