Disk usage alerts

I have a small doubt, always the /opt/pancfg exceeds 80% and I get a constant alert, I would like the alert not to jump at 80% but to start jumping the alert at 90% or so, is it possible to change the percentage of the alert?

One option to free up space is to keep smaller number of Dynamic Update versions on the box.

> show max-num-images
Maximum images to keep is set to 5

To change the number stored to a minimum of 2.
> set max-num-images count 2

hi,

Yes I know that but I do not want that what I want is that when it reaches 80% that is configured by default I get an alert by email I want to change from 80% to 90% so that I only get the alert when it exceeds 90%.

Kind regards

Don't think there's an option to do what you're looking to do on the box. Best bet is to open a support case or talk to your SE and see if it's something that can be added as a feature request.

Yes, you can adjust the alert threshold for disk usage.
