Splunk Indexes on NAS showing False warning

Hi All,

We are hosting our indexes on Windows NAS path provided by our organisation.

NAS path that is used is as below
\XYZ.adroot.ZZ\UK\abc\application\BFITSPUNK\Splunk\indexes

our splunk_DB points to \XYZ.adroot.ZZ\UK\abc\application\BFITSPUNK\Splunk\indexes as well. Indexing is happening fine without any issues.

When I login with admin to splunk web. I get an alert on the top right with the below error.

The diskspace remaining=5127 has breached the yellow threshold for filesystems=[\XYZ.adroot.ZZ\UK\abc\application\BFITSPUNK\Splunk\indexes_internaldb\db

when I check the free space its more that 500 GB.

Even in the monitoring console I see two entries shwoing incorrect free space.

Mount Point File System Type Disk Usage (GB) Disk Usage (%)
D: ntfs

7.28 / 400.00
7.28 / 400.00
1.82
\xyz.adroot.ZZ\UK\ ntfs

740.30 / 750.00
740.30 / 750.00

I see the monitoring is pointing to \xyz.adroot.ZZ\UK\ and not \XYZ.adroot.ZZ\UK\abc\application\BFITSPUNK\

How to fix this alert.

Regards
Dinakar
