Setting the log event as a threshold action using the management console

About this task

A threshold trigger can be set to automatically generate an event log entry when the volume or folder reaches the threshold limit. You can set the event log trigger when creating or editing a directory quota template.

  1. From the Create or Edit Quota Template page, click + in the Thresholds section.

    The Add Threshold screen displays.

  2. Select Log Event under Trigger Actions.

    For example: User [Source Io Owner] has exceeded the [Quota Threshold]% quota threshold for the quota on [Quota Path] on server [Server]. The quota limit is [Quota Limit MiB] MiB, and [Quota Used MiB] MiB currently is in use ([Quota Used Percent]% of limit).
