  When you look under authoring and locate the monitor, is Generate an Alert enabled?

  

  I also think you override values are incorrect, I have made a screenshot of the default values, please try to set it back to the defaults, and see if there comes an alert when you test the disk space with a test machine. The numeric values and and percentages need to be in equal, only then this monitor will work as designed.

  Hi,

  The monitor triggers only an alert on critical state. Is that your case or do you only notice state changes to warning ?

  Regards.

  Hi Marc,

  You have described that the state change event is visible in health explorer. Did the state change from Healthy to warning or Healthy to Critical?

  Thanks,

  Shreedevi

  Hi Marc

  This monitor does not generate an alert for warning - if you look at the very first response from Shadowman and the very first graphic, then you can see this monitor by default only generates alerts when the health state is critical. You can change this setting via an override but be aware that you will only get an alert on the first state change. So if the disk goes:

  health -> warning = Alert

  warning -> critical = No new alert

  Cheers

  Graham

  Thank you Graham

  But I'm not able to override the parameter (2003 and 2008):

  Or is it another Parameter?

  Thank you & regards

  Hi Marc

  That is the parameter - you'll see 2 lines there (in your screenshot). Just widen the column. One will say critical. The other will say critical or warning.

  Cheers
