Monitoring Free Disk Space
Since June 2008 i am monitoring some performance counters of my Hyper-V
server. When i started using Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with
Hyper-V, i almost immediately felt the need
to have some sort of monitoring for the server and for each virtual machine that
runs on it. Using some
Powershell
code,
WMI
queries i managed to create a script that periodically stores performance
information into my
SQL Server.
Depending on the type of information these performance values are stored at
different intervals and kept in the SQL database for a specific time-period. For
example, CPU usage is only kept for 5 days, after that it will be deleted.
Information about percentage disk free space however, is kept much longer but it
also has a different interval: 1 day. In february 2009 i created this page to
monitor the free disk space of the drives in my server.
