Reservation Alerts Per Storage Type

[pizzle85]

All our IaaS Reservations have three storage tiers Gold, Silver, and Bronze where we allocate 8000GB of disk in each tier to each group for a total of 24000GB per customer. We want to alert when a customer reaches 80% of a single tier of storage, as most of our customers choose our Silver offering. By default it looks like the alert for storage triggers on a percentage of the total amount of storage available in the reservation. Does anyone have a good solution for alerting per storage type without having to create three reservations for each customer? Even that will introduce issues with memory allocation per reservation...

From within vRA, not without creating one reservation per storage tier. I was thinking that vROps and the Management Pack for vRA could help here, but the Reservation object it collects also does so on a summed capacity of storage and doesn't expose individual storage paths.

Was hoping someone would have some special sauce. Ill write up a script to do it and share it here.
