Resolution

  1. Log in to your Orion Web Console with full Administrative Privilege.
  2. Go to Home tab > Alerts > Click Manage Alerts.
  3. Click Add new alert.
  4. Under the Properties tab – Enter a name for the alert and description, then click Next.
  5. Under the Trigger Condition tab – put the “I want to alert on” VOLUME.

    All Child conditions must be satisfied (AND)
    Volume  Percent USED is greater than or equal to 75%
    *Condition must exist for more than (1 Minute) (This is an optional setting that's not required for this alert to be functional)

  6. Leave the Reset Condition tab empty unless you would like the alert to trigger under specific circumstances. The default reset conditions are usually best as the alert will reset when the trigger conditions are no longer met.
  7. Under Time of Day, leave it at default.

    Set the Email address

                    Space Used: ${N=SwisEntity;M=VolumePercentUsed}
                    Time stamp: ${N=Generic;M=DateTime;F=DateTime}
