Thanks alot!
My question now is, that my current expressions only returns the percentage
as value - can I just add another expression for that specific alert?
Currentliy my alerts for diskSpace (one at 10% as warning and one at 5% as
crit):
- alert: LowDiskSpace
expr: ((windows_logical_disk_free_bytes{volume="C:"} /
windows_logical_disk_size_bytes) * 100) <= 10
for: 1m
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "10% C-Disk Space"
description: "Das C-Volumen des Hosts {{ $labels.instance }} ist noch
10% frei *({{$value | humanize}})*."
- alert: LowDiskSpace
expr: ((windows_logical_disk_free_bytes{volume="C:"} /
windows_logical_disk_size_bytes) * 100) <= 5
for: 1m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "5% C-Disk Space"
description: "Das C-Volumen des Hosts {{ $labels.instance }} ist noch
5% frei *({{$value | humanize}})*."
I want the values (bold above) to get returned as gigabyte values -> so can
I just add an expression which calculates the free space?
