Hi, I'm trying di monitor the space left on disk on this device.

I've already add SSH SAN sensors, but they don't show me informations related to space, only health.

Is there any way to implement a script which can show me the result of "show pools" cli command? It displays the infromation I need.

Thank you all, Diego

Hi there,

Did you already tried to use the SSH Disk Free Sensor?

Hi, yes, I've already tryed that sensor, but it shows me a "No disks available" message.

Hi there,

if the SSH Disk Free Sensor is not supported and no other protocols are supported (like WMI or SNMP) I recommend to use a SSH custom Sensor https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/ssh_script_sensor

I tryed that sensor too, but unfortunately DELL EMC PowerVault doesn't allow me to browse throught the system folders, so I can't put scripts inside the /var/prtg/scripts directory. During the implementation process of the sensor, though, I can see some PRTG native scripts already stored in that folder; is there any way to permit PRTG to store other (custom) scripts there? Thank you again

On the PRTG Probe Server, no SSH Script can be stored. You can try to use e.g. a Powershell script to query the information and build a SSH connection via Powershell.
