Monitoring the disk space used by HCL Workload Automation

The following .XML file contains the definition of a sample event rule to monitor the disk filling percentage. This event rule calls the MessageLogger action provider to write a message in a log file in an internal auditing database. If the condition described in the rule is already existing when you deploy the rule, the related event is not generated. For more information about the MessageLogger action provider, see User's Guide and Reference :

where:

filling_percentage

Is the filling percentage. Supported operators are as follows:

ge

causes the event generation when the disk filling percentage increases over the threshold value. The event is generated only the first time the specified disk filling percentage is reached. If you restart the SSM agent and the filling percentage is higher than the threshold value, the event is generated again. Table 1 provides an example in which the ge operator is set to 70%.

Table 1. Example for the ge operator

Mailbox name	Filling percentage	Action
Sample (0)	>= 70%	event not generated
Sample (0)	< 70%	event not generated
Sample (n-1)	< 70%	event not generated
Sample (n)	>= 70%	event generated
Sample (n+1)	>= 70%	event not generated

le

causes the event generation when the disk filling percentage decreases under the threshold value. The event is generated only the first time the specified disk filling percentage is reached. If you restart the SSM agent and the filling percentage is lower than the threshold value, the event is not generated until the filling percentage increases over the threshold value and then decreases under it again. Table 2 provides an example in which the le operator is set to 50%:

Table 2. Example for the le operator

Mailbox name	Filling percentage	Action
Sample (0)	<= 50%	event not generated
Sample (0)	> 50%	event not generated
Sample (n-1)	> 50%	event not generated
Sample (n)	<= 50%	event generated
Sample (n+1)	<= 50%	event not generated

workstation_name

Is the workstation on which the event is generated.

sample_interval

Is the interval, expressed in seconds, for monitoring the disk filling percentage.

mount_point

Is the mount point of the file system where HCL Workload Automation is installed, for example: "C:" on Windows systems or "/" on UNIX systems.

object_key

Is a key identifying the object to which the message pertains.

message_severity

Is the severity of the message.

log_message

Is the message to be logged.
