Create one Smart Alert for monitoring the same threshold for many volumes

Hello Team,

Instana offers monitoring of disk/volume usage based on named metric like "/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root" Used disk percentage and for each kind of volume we ask users to create a separate Smart Alert. Our customer is interested in monitoring large infrastructure and would like to monitor as many servers as possible with one rule. Preferred way would be to specify threshold values and use filters to match server names and exact volume names when needed. This way we would expect to see a volume name and a server name in the notification. Today we can't select volume name in custom payloads.

Please consider more generic Smart Alert.

Thank you

    using regex metric selection multiple volumes or even hosts can be part of a single smart alert config.
    We're currently adding a feature to allow the dynamic part of the regex to be added as a placeholder in the title and description similar to how groupBy information can be included

    at the moment we can create events which include a list of mounts with thresholds, but in that case we miss functionality to select volume names in custom payload configuration.
