Massimo,

There's no such thing that I've found. The solution I've taken is having an event handler create a zero-byte file on the machine that's concerned.

For example:
- Monitor machine A's disk space because machine B needs to put stuff there
- Write an event handler so that if A.disk goes critical, write a 0 byte file on machine B 
  (like /var/tmp/a_disk_full) saying so. When the service goes back to normal, rm the file.
- Update whatever program needs to know, to look for that file.

I think it'll work just fine.
