Just change the host in question to use a bogus threshold for a few
minutes?  Like set the disk threshold to 5 percent, or something?  Then
change it back when you are done.

Thanks Martin,

Is there a way using the same method to cause the alert to activate. For
example, I want a host to activate on disk% has reached 98%, and go
ahead and send a test page to my cell phone so I can check the format.

Thanks again....James
