dataset w/quota usage >80% (and >95%) but no alert generated

[FFF]

Hi all,
In order to test alerting on storage usage, I have done the following:

• created test dataset with 100M quota
• downloaded 100MB test file from linode.com/speedtest until it reached ~75% (throughput decreased at this point dramatically)
• initiated cp to duplicate the file in order to bump disk usage past 80%
• waited for warning alert to be generated
• crickets
• initiated second cp of the file to bump disk usage past 95%
• waited for critical alert to be generated
• crickets

Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
Mirror01/Test01 100M 96M 4.2M 96% /mnt/Mirror01/Test01

Everything I've read indicates a warning alert should be generated automatically @ 80% utilization and a critical alert should be generated automatically @ 95% utilization. Can someone advise if I'm misunderstanding or missing something that would explain the lack of any alerts under these conditions?

You'll get a notification when the pool reaches 80% utilization. This alert does not apply to datasets with a quota.

Rats. So despite the quota limiting the capacity of a dataset to the point it even impacts the usage numbers in "df" output the system doesn't consider that a condition worth warning about? Is there an easy way to achieve sane storage monitoring/alerting in FreeNAS or do I have to roll my own?

I'm using Zabbix to monitor my FreeNAS Installations ;-)

I get alerts when datasets hit 80% and then 95% this is on 11.1-U7 so I can't imagine they would have removed this feature on newer versions.

I accidently replied to a 18 month old thread...

It probably wasn't added by the time this thread was created! ;-)

Ah sorry I didn't see that :p
