Searching GLPI inventory computers with low disk space

jmd75 · 2024-10-25 08:23:45

Hello,

I'm using GLPI with the GLPI agent for the inventory.

How to search the GLPI inventory for computers with a disk volume less than a given size (or percentage)?

In Assets/Computers with the fields "Volume - Free size" or "Volume - Free percentage" the conditions can be "is" or "is not".
When searching on the memory size I can user criteria like:
"Memory" is <=4096 that means computers with a total memory size less or equal to 4 Gb.
It is the sum of the size of the memory components that is taken into account.
But what about the disk size ?
For example, how to find C: drives with less than 5% disk space.
I can filter with "Volume - Name", but then what?
It seems that the search for "Volume - Free Size" or "Volume - Free percentage" is done on all inventoried volumes.

For example if I search for "Volume - Fee percentage" is "<5", the result matches all computers that have at least one volume with less than 5% free space.

So how to do it without using SQL request ?

Thanks.

I think I found a solution although it may not work 100%.
I have just seen also on a French-speaking forum a solution, which I had not noticed, which also uses the trick i experimented with:
https://forum.glpi-project.org/viewtopi … orm=MG0AV3 (post from uinfo)

So it seems the following simple combination of criteria works (disks with less than 5% available size):
"Volumes - Mount Point" contains "C:"
and
"Volumes - Free percentage" is "<=5"
Add possibly:
and
"Operating System - Name" contains "Windows"

Where the system may not be foolproof is, as initially discussed, in the following case:
that is if I have a computer a disk C: with a free percentage of 10%, but a disk D: with a free percentage of 4%, this computer risks being included in the list?

To be checked.

I might do some additional tests.
In the meantime, this search with these criteria seems to allow to have the list of computers with a nearly full C: hard drive.

That is indeed how it works
