Excluding Drives from Low Disk Space Triggers in ControlUp

Posted on February 3, 2025

The team discussed excluding a logical disk (S:) from triggering low disk space alerts. One member suggested using Disk Name instead, but it depends on how the disks appear in the console. Another member is testing a FALSE statement in a collection to not alert on S:. It was also mentioned that there is an option to exclude a drive that fills up and clears out, and there may be some documentation available on it.

Yes, that should work



I am wondering if you should try using Disk Name instead. But it depends on what your disks look like in the console. You could say % Free Space is less than or equal to 10 AND Disk Name is S:\


I’m trying to NOT alert on S:. So I made a COLLECTION is FALSE statement and am testing tomorrow with the client.


Brian is it that you want to exclude as it is a very small drive and giving you false alerts?


its a shadow copy drive that fills up and then clears up

would exclude from monitoring


interesting. is there a doc I can read more about this?


not an external one that i know of

but let me check
