Datastore usage alarm creation in Vcenter 6.7

[jsnow0445]

Hi everyone

I am looking to find a way in vcenter 6.7 to alert us via email when a single datastore has:

• less than 1TB free
• less than 800GB free
• less than 500GB free

While searching in alarm definition section , i found one "Datastore Disk usage alarm" but it is showing options with 75 % or any other percentage of memory left .

I am wandering if we can have any other option or alarm where i can define the threshold in terms of TB or GB space left ?

Thanks

For that (amount free not percentage) you'll probably need to turn to vROps or similar.

From vCenter directly you can only use percentages.
But you can calculate what percentage 1TB, 800GB, 500GB represent to your datastores and then create new alarm definitions from vCenter.

Also, please consider using vROPs, that will give you a nicer insight of what's going on in your environment.
