Error description
Storage System Used Capacity alerts meant to notify the user of disk space reaching a specific limit within a certain number of days are being generated even when there has been no capacity growth on the system for past 1 year. Capacity value is above the threshold, but its value is not changing. This is being viewed as a false positive. Used Capacity >= 80 % In next 30 Days Critical Used Capacity >= 75 % In next 90 Days Warning Used Capacity >= 60 % In next 180 Days Informational Example message in email received: Storage system SYSTEM_NAME is filling up fast. If the current filling rate persists, system utilization is likely to cross its capacity limit (configured at Storage System Used Capacity Percent >= xx% In Next 180 days wtihin Storage Insights)
Local fix
None. Modify alert definitions within a custom alert policy if desired.
