I understnad that bigfix will issue a warning when a hard drive is getting low on space.
how do i configure the thresholds that i want for instance, i want a warning anytime a machine has less than 500MB
How would i prevent bigfix from sending anything to these machines.
We had a harddrive crash last week right after we pushed updates. I am 90% sure that it was the updates that filled and killed the drive. I woul like to prevent this going forward.
There are actually a couple different options here, but I’ll describe one potential approach:
Have Web Reports e-mail you a report of computers (I’d recommend first generating a ‘Single Retrieved Property Status’ report on ‘Free Space on System Drive’ and filtering that report to those less than your threshold value) using something like the following relevance clause for a trigger (check off ‘Match Relevance Conditions’ in the create scheduled activity section):
exists (preceding texts of firsts
" MB" of ((values of results(it, bes property
"Free Space on System Drive")) of bes computers) as integer) whose (it < 500)
You can use a dynamic policy to lock computers with less than a certain amount of free space on the system drive. See http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/kbdirect.pl?id=367 for more information about how to create them. You can use relevance such as:
{
if ((exists setting
"LockOverride" of client) and (exists value of setting
"LockOverride" of client) and (value of setting
"LockOverride" of client =
“1”)) then
"false"
else
if (((free space of drive of system folder)/(1024 * 1024)) < 500) then
"true"
