WMI FreeSpace Alert

nycoadmin · Post by **nycoadmin** » Tue May 30, 2006 10:42 am

I am running a WMI query to monitor free space on remote computers. WMI query "select FreeSpace from CIM_LogicalDisk" is executed and alerted if drive space falls below 2GB.

However, as most systems have multiple drives, (ie C:, D:, E:), is it possible to pass the drive letter in the alert. WMI references DeviceID for each respective drive but that does not appear to be a passable variable.

You may provide drive letter into Comment filed for each test and then use %TaskComment% variable.

So, WMI query should be like this: select FreeSpace from CIM_LogicalDisk where DeviceId = 'C:' and you should set Comment filed for that test as 'C:'.

Please note: "Problems and bugs" forum should be used when HostMonitor or some other software (e.g. Windows) does not work properly.
For configuration questions please use "Installation and configuration" forum.

What I want to know if there is a way to get alerts if the free space falls below 10% no matter what the size of the drive is. Therefore I could use one WMI FreeSpace test for all systems to alerts below 10%.

I dont see a way to do this without factoring the total space against the free space.

You may use UNC test for such purpose.
If you want to use WMI then you need a script, please check the following thread http://www.ks-soft.net/cgi-bin/phpBB/vi ... php?t=4223
