Hi,
I'm trying to build an alert in Azure for my Linux VM. I want to understand which query to run to trigger an alert when the disk space is 90%. I refered several examples in this forum and outside. Most of them are for a Windows VM. I want to know if the same works for Linux as well.
I would also want an alert when /var or /opt directories in Linux VM have reached 90% capacity.
Please help
Hi @VSMadhusudanCognizant-6502,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
The “office-teams-linux-itpro” tag is for general questions about Teams client on Linux. Since your question is not related to Teams desktop client, I’ll remove the teams tag. Thanks for your understanding.
Hi @VSMadhusudanCognizant-6502
With Azure Monitor for Virtual Machines, exactly the same way as Windows, either in KQL with a query like mine in the image and text below, using Azure Monitor for Virtual Machines Guest Health
InsightsMetrics
| where Computer in (
"CH1-UBNTVM", //Linux
"DC10.na.contosohotels.com" // Windows
)
| where Namespace == "LogicalDisk"
| where Name == "FreeSpacePercentage"
| extend Disk=tostring(todynamic(Tags)["vm.azm.ms/mountId"])
| summarize arg_max(TimeGenerated, *) by Disk, Computer
| project TimeGenerated, Disk, Computer, Val
| where Val > 90
You can add more filters if needed and specify thresholds in Azure Monitor alerts rather than in KQL
