I've got a Disk Free sensor that is currently in the Down state as it's below the error limit of 10% free space. However I wish to lower this error state to 5%. I've clicked on the settings of this channel and set the lower warning & lower error limit for the sensor but the sensor still reports "9 % (Free Space E:) is below the error limit of 10 % in Free Space E:". Just for testing, I tried to set an upper limit and this does affect the graph (I can see the yellow and red colours appear at the top of the dial).

I presume the sensor is pulling in the settings via inheritance but I thought editing it would break inheritance. Any ideas?

Hello Simon,

This sensor is able to use the limits in the channel settings and also in the sensor settings. If you prefer to set limits in the channel settings, please go to the sensor settings and disable the option "Percentage Limit Check".
