Description

Since the change to 'Get-IcingaWindowsInformation Win32_Volume -Filter ([string]::Format('DriveType = "{0}"', $DriveType));' USB devices are displayed which can include USB mass storage and licensing dongles. Request to allow filtering based on identifying as 'USB'.

Win32_DiskDrive.InterfaceType exposes this property.

Research direction

Start at the Get-IcingaPartitionSpace entry point and trace its use of Get-IcingaWindowsInformation with Win32_Volume and the DriveType filter. Read the Win32_DiskDrive.InterfaceType property documentation and determine how USB devices relate to the returned volumes. Done means USB devices such as mass storage and licensing dongles can be excluded through the requested filtering behavior.
