The AlertName dialog box appears, in which you configure settings for the alert that you created. Click the General tab, and then in the Comment box, type Monitors free disk space on logical drive. Click Select interfaces from list , and then click the logical drive or volume that you want to monitor. In the Alert when the value is box, click Under, and then type the value that you want in the Limit box.
For example, to trigger an alert message when disk space is under 1 megabyte MB , type Accept the default value of 5 seconds in the Sample data interval , or specify the value that you want.
Click the Action tab, and then specify the action or actions that you want to perform when an alert occurs, as follows:. When an alert occurs, the service creates a process and runs the specified command file. The service also copies any command-line arguments that you define to the command line that is used to run the file. Change the account to service account local or domain that is a local administrator on the server and is allowed to run as a service Log on as batch job permissions :.
The last step to configure for this task is to set it to run after server restarts so open up the properties of the task and navigate to the Actions tab:. I hope this helps anyone looking for a quick and dirty way to monitor free drive space on their servers.
Hi, nothing serious, but on your 3rd to last screencap you've forgotten to censor your domain. Good guide though. Terence, when a server reboots, this alerting stops. How do you set it up to automatically restart upon a reboot?
Be sure Enabled is checked, click ok. Also, for the email alert, I had to use the Administrator account to get a rely off of my local exchange server to work. This is great, thanks! I think the final step has a mistake though unless I'm misreading. I don't think you want to set the task which sends the email to trigger on startup, just on the event.
It looks like you're triggering both, which generates an email when the server restarts. Great post Terence, thank you! I have a question: I want to use this method to send different alerts for different situations. Lets say I want one alert for low free disk space, and another different one for low memory usage. The problem is that both "fires" the same event id - So how can I cause them to fire different event ids?
This was a really useful write up. Thanks very much! Windows Server Consulting. I have the same startup problem, When i reboot the machine it generate the low disk alert as it was triggered startup the machine. I think it should only triggered when the event occur. Please let me know if i am wrong.
It's because in the work instructions he has you add an "at start up" trigger for the send an email event I think this is an error As he already has us setup that trigger on the event trigger Not the email event. I also see Windows Server R2 but none list logical disk so I don't see any settings for disk space. Does this mean only Windows and not R2 is being monitored for disk space? How can I monitor disk space? Disk monitor is enabled by default and should work until something wrong with SCOM server.
Only then you will see an alert. Refer below posts. Based on my understanding, the logical disks of Windows Server R2 should also be monitored as the same objects of Windows Server Please also check if the Windows Server R2 computers are discovered and monitored. Just as Chandan suggested, you can also create a monitor for logical disks of Windows Server R2 and see if it works.
In addition, how about other monitors target to Windows Server R2?
