Conditional alerting
We recently had this question asked to support
"Is it possible to set conditional alert thresholds for a certain datapoints? For example for all servers, the "AvailableGB" under Disks > Volum...

The idea behind this post is also what I figured out on my own, however, I want to see the amount remaining in the message that gets sent in the alert.
Will there ever be any kind of free-form secondary return value that can be passed along with the alert?
Evaluate this value against these thresholds - send this other value/string if threshold is met (and maybe even per threshold).
I really only see this being needed for variably sized storage.
We have previously used what is below, but we also had a column for "performance data."
when percent_free < 5 and gb_free < 5 then 0 -- critical
when percent_free < 10 and gb_free < 15 then 1 -- warn
else 3 -- ok
