Changing the default Disk Warning Thresholds

[cdmdotnet]

I am aware of the bug in ZCS 5.04, and i have upgraded to 5.05, however this is not related to that bug.

I do infact have a partition that is 90% used, however this partition is not used by zimbra (it's a partition set aside for some media files)

I'd either like to know how I can exclude this partition from the warning emails or how to change the threshold settings for the disk warning system that fires out emails. In fact if i can do the first I'd still like to know how to change the threshold settings.

Also an email ever 10 minutes probably isn't the most user friendly solution, maybe an email ever 10 minutes for 3 warnings, then change the timing to 30 minutes and so forth till it's once every 6 hours. The bug in 5.04 highlighted how overzealous the "email every 10 minutes" idea has been.

Welcome to the forums

The default, according to zmcontrol, is 100Mb. Looking at the code is checks for the config variable zimbra_disk_threshold so you should be able to set it to whatever you like using

su - zimbra
zmlocalconfig -e zimbra_disk_threshold = 100

Also, check /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmdisklog as they are hardcoded in there

my $DISK_CRIT_THRESHOLD = 90;
my $DISK_WARN_THRESHOLD = 80;

I was having the same problem, but changed the $DISK_WARN_THRESHOLD = 80 to 90, and it stopped send out those e-mails. Thanks for the post uxbod!

I set [zmlocalconfig -e zimbra_disk_threshold = 90] and still get emails every 10 mins too! My usage is about 85%. How come?

Also, I can't amend zmdisklog as it said it's read only. How do I make it writable?

[bhwong]

btw, is it normal to keep receiving not just service /dev/sda1 warning regarding over 81% harddisk usage, but also:

1. sasl changed from stopped to running
2. mta changed from stopped to running
3. stats changed from stopped to running

Looks like zmdisklog was merged into

/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmmon


thx

How is zmdisklog get merged into zmmon automatically? What can I do about this?
