<p class="ecxMsoNormal">I have an admin that does not pay very much attention to our
Nagios and Cacti servers. If he paid any attention he would have noticed a
warning about disk space on our email server and would have investigated and
solved the problem before it became critical.</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">Is it possible to setup different alerts for warnings? I
would like to setup a warning template to have a quick message like, "Better
Check Nagios!!!" And I would send these alerts to <u>all</u> of our admins
because this individual is more responsive when light is shed on issues.</p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal">On that subject, is it possible to monitor and alert for a sudden
change in disk space? Our situation is that within 2 days we lost over 80 GB of
space and it wasn't until I looked at Nagios that we became aware of the issue.</p>

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
