Currently monitoring all disks by % used, and it works just fine.
problem arises, when service is applied to hosts with VERY large or small disks. as an example, most of the time 90% critical state is fine, but if disk is couple TB, then at 90% usage i still can have couple hundred GBs left, which is nothing to worry about.


So my question is: How to raise alert for SNMP monitored disks only if both conditions are met. Like raise an alert when disk space left is: "(< %) AND (< 1024MB)" ?

You can make two service checks, one that checks by space and one that checks by percentage. Then make a BPI group that combines the two and only alerts if BOTH are in a failure state.

Thanks @eloyd for the help, much appreciated.
@911comp, if you need some instructions for setting up BPI, take a look at this manual, it has instructions and examples you can look at but you can run the BPI wizard if you like.
The wizard is a quick way to get yourself started.
