1 hour ago, Mike Moniz said:You would think that would be an easy request, here are some thoughts from the top of my head (assuming it shouldn't involve daily manual work):
- Use an outside script to query the LM API to get the data and generate the needed report
- Create a Dashboard report with a dynamic table widget showing all F: drives with Bottom 10/25 for F: drive free space, or perhaps have the FreeSpace column uses an Expression like "if(le(FreeSpace,8589934592),FreeSpace/1024/1024,unkn())" and tell the customer to ignore the NaN entries.
- Create a custom DataSource that gets only data if it's <= 8GB (either directly or having it query LM), perhaps list each server as instances. Which you can then create a report on.
- Convince the customer to let the monitoring system do its job and save them time by letting it notify them when it drops below 8GB instead of getting let another daily email that will be ignored. :)/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20">
First, this customer is not trainable ?
Stuart likes the 2nd to last idea posed by Mike, and coincidentally I headed down that road before I posted, but couldn't figure out how to filter the datasource for the <=8Gb. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I like the dashboard approach also, but it would likely get messy - there's as many as 120 active servers that could trigger the threshold.
