Change service metrics

[toleolu]

What's the easiest way to change the warning and critical threshold on monitored drive space? Right now it's 80% Warning and 90% critical, I want to change that to 85 - 95 respectively.

This depends on the disk check, but either from the
Service Status Detail Page -> "Configure Tab" -> "Reconfigure this service" ->
modify the "Monitor the service with this command" field

Or from the Core Config Manager -> Services -> Edit
and change the appropriate $ARGn$ fields

Actually I was looking for something more global, I want to change that metric for all disk checks.

Do I need to do that from a .cfg file?

This is something that can be done through the use of templates, if you set your.. lets say.. windows disk check services to use the same template, and that template had a command definition with warning and critical thresholds, when you change that template it would effectively change those thresholds for all services using that template. Unfortunately the Bulk Modification Tool does not allow you to change check settings, particularly command thresholds on groups of hosts/services since they can vary so widely based on what you are checking. We are however, working to add more functionality to the Bulk Modification tool.

OK, so I create the template like you are talking about, but at the very least, I would have to go through all the hosts that have already been added and change their templates, or recreate them using this new template?

This is correct.
