Monitoring quota usage per fileset (not inodes, capacity usage)

Hi team, we found a gap in quota monitoring of spectrum scale filesets, we have the capability to monitor inode usage per-fileset, but not quota consumption in terms of capacity. Becasuse of that we urgently need a feature that could alert us when usage is above a quota threshold (in %) in order to avoid out-of-space events per fileset, no only per pool or filesystem. We found that GUI provides some alerting when there is no more than "X free" GB but we need a %-based threshold, I mean, if a fileset is above 85% of the quota in terms of capacity scale must alert he customer. Thanks in advance.

    Information from our development team: For the use case of this customer, the softlimit can be used as the threshold. Say, 85% threshold, for a fileset with 100GB of hardlimit (capacity), set quota soft limits to 85GB - in this case, this accomplished desired outcome. The alert will be triggered when usage is above 85% of the quota. There is a little bit of setup for the use case, that is, set hard quota limits (total fileset disk space allowed) and soft quota limits (in term of % threshold). If the threshold must change during the life time of file system/fileset, the new softquota limit can be recalculated and set accordingly again.
