I setup the defualt Datastore Usage on Disk alarm to email when it triggers.
Now my understanding of the alarm is, if Datastore uses more than 75% of its space it will trigger then email me. Actually 75% to warn, 85% to alert.
The alarm triggered. as one of my datastores actually is using above 90% of the space.
But the email confused me

It says above 7500KB, actual used is 9617KB.
Is it just giving me wrong info, where the 7500kb should be percent? or is the Datastore usage on disk mean something other than what I thought?
Thanks
