Creating SCOM 2012 Logical Disk Space Availability View

Hi Everyone,
I am looking to create a SCOM 2012 Logical Disk Space Availability View and having a little trouble finding documentation on how to do this. It would be really handy to see all of the servers being monitored and how much free space they have all in one view.
Has anyone created a view like this before.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

  • SCOM 2012 - Custom disk space report - Computer Groups

    Hello,
    I've created custom disk report with sql query to pull the disk space for all servers. The report has parameters start data,End date and computer name but now my requirement would be to get the disk reports based on custom created computer group, Is it possible
    to feed computer group name instead of computer name in the custom reports?
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi,
    For SCOM 2007, you can’t select a group of servers and run a free disk space report on them. And for 2012 I think it also like that.
    But based on my research, someone said that when you create group with Logical Disk targets, it may work. Here are two similar threads for your reference:

  • Logical Disk space on a virtual Computer (not a Server) in SCOM 2012

    Hello all-
       I have a sort of unique situation for our SCOM environment.  We are already doing logical disk space monitoring on all of our SERVERS with no issues.  Now we have one user who requires monitoring on their computer.  This is really
    a virtual workstation, as opposed to a real computer.   Since it's virtual, it's really online all the time.    Whether its right or wrong, they are using this virtual workstation sort of as a server.  Anyway, they want me to
    monitor the disk space for the C drive on this virtual computer.  I'm having difficulty setting up such a monitor on a computer like that...
    I got the SCOM agent installed onto the computer.  SCOM is reporting it as being "Healthy".   Now how can I define a logical disk space monitor for it?   I attempt to create a monitor:   Windows Performance Counters,
    Static Thresholds, Single Threshold.  Then how can I direct the monitor at the C drive on the computer?  I have to fill in the Object, Counter and Instanace.  Normally I would click on the
    Select button, then I would type in the server name and hit Enter and it would bring up all the objects it will allow me to monitor.  Unfortunately it doesn't let me type in the computer name and hit enter in the same way.  When I
    do so, it says "The network path was not found".  If I click on the
    ... button next to the Computer field, it brings me to a Select Computer screen.  In here, I am type in the computer name and then I click
    Check Name and it does appear to find it, and it underlines the computer's name.    So I then click
    OK to bring me back to the previous screen where it presents me with the same  "The network path was not found" error immediately. So I can't seem to navigate to the computer in SCOM and select the C drive, as I would be able
    to for a server.
    I tried to sort of force it in, instead of browsing for the computer and selecting the C drive.  I simply put
    LogicalDisk in for the Object then Free Megabytes for the Counter, then
    C: for the Instance (as shown in the attached screen print.
    Then I just applied my new rule to the computer via SCOM.  I don't get any error messages when setting it up that way, but it certainly doesn't work.
    So with all that said, can anyone help me out setting up a logical disk space monitoring for a COMPUTER in SCOM 2012 SP1 please?  Please let me know if you need any more information!

    Thanks, that would probably do it, I'm going to keep that as my backup plan.  However, my current feeling is that it might be a bit overkill to install a whole management pack, when all I want to do is monitor a single C drive on a single workstation. 
    The rest of the monitors in the management pack I wouldn't have any interest it.   Let me ask you a question maybe you will know the answer to... Shouldn't I be able to monitor that drive even without that management pack installed?   I
    mean some combination of settings for the Logical Disk Space rule in that management pack works for computers/workstations.  Shouldn't I be able to reproduce that one single rule without the management pack?  Does anyone have that management pack
    installed?  Could you possibly look at the Client OS Logical Disk Space rule and send me some screen shots or something?   Or am I missing something?  Is the management pack needed for other reasons in order to monitor this?

  • Windows Server 2012 Logical Disk Free Space (%) Low

    I enabled the monitor "Windows Server 2012 Logical Disk Free Space (%) Low" and configured a low threshold to test. I started to get a bunch of warnings from servers, for example:
    The disk \\?\Volume{ee0222ed-16de-40a5-af89-f95db3fdf5a4} on computer PC is running out of disk space. The value that exceeded the threshold is 11% free space.
    Now I checked on the server, and all the disks have more than 11% free space. Additionally, I don't see any disks with such a name/guid.
    When looking at the additional knowledge of the monitor, I see that it is using the following information:
    Object Name: Logical Disk
    Counter Name: PercentFree 
    My question is where is this disk coming from, and how can I avoid these disks from creating false alarms? When looking in the Windows Server
    From my analyzing the DB, I see that these are the partitions on the server without a volume letter. Any way to avoid getting these discovered and/or alerts, without overriding each one?

    Hi,
    These "strange" disks are called mount points.
    They get discovered by the "Mount Point Discovery Rule".
    Go to your authoring => rules => search for the rule above and disable it.
    If you want to remove all the instances in your environment you need to use Remove-SCOMDisabledClassInstance
    powershell cmdlet.
    More info on the cmdlet can be found here:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh920257%28v=sc.20%29.aspx

  • Upgrade the OS from Maver to Yosemite.. message "There is no enough disk space available to install this product". Please help.

    I have 5.12gb space on my Macbook Air (Mid 2012). But when i attempt to upgrade the OS from Maver to Yosemite, i get a message "There is no enough disk space available to install this product". Please help

    You need to temporarily free up additional drive space - the Yosemite download itself is just over 5GB and then it needs more space to install it. Once the new OS is installed the installer will be deleted. Music and movie files are large and will be the most convenient files to remove to an external drive.
    On another note it isn't a good idea to try to run the computer with so little free drive space. Look for files you can offload to an external drive permanently. For example, I keep my music and movies on an external drive. You can keep a small assortment of music on the computer but save lots of space by keeping the regular media library off the computer.

  • Logical Disk Space Results - Convert to GBytes

    Hi there 
    I'm using my own logical disk space alerts that's not part of the built-in two-state monitor. The only problem I'm facing at the moment is that within the alert description, I need to get the attribute that shows Mbytes converted/changed to Gbytes. 
    The way I understand is that I would be able to do this via the Attribute wizard, over a WMI query. 
    Once I have my query working, I can then edit my monitor description and add in this new attribute which then insert the results into my description - if this all makes sens.
    So.
    My issue:
    I need this query: SELECT Size FROM Win32_LogicalDisk WHERE DeviceID ='$Target/Property[Type="Windows!Microsoft.Windows.LogicalDevice"]/DeviceID$'
    To divide the result by 1024/1024/1024 (Three times) in order to get the logical disk size in GBytes.
    A TB drive returning in MB's in 3AM in the morning is a little tough to read :-) - So showing in Gbytes will be a lot simpler for the monitoring team.
    Thanks!

    Hi guys
    Thanks for all of the replies. 
    I can get it working as a rule. The big challenge for me is to get that GBytes result into my alert description.
    An example of my alert description would be:
    10GB of 100GB Free
    Instead of
    10240MB of 102400MB Free
    This should be displayed within my e-mail/sms notification once the monitor is triggered.
    So getting the performance rule to work with VBScript is fine, but getting that rule result into an alert description is my issue.
    Thanks again
    Alert description is a direct correlation to the data evaluated during runtime. If your WMI query returns 1, the alert description will display 1. Without using a script and performing calculations for your property bags, you could use the System.Computation
    example from bobgreen. The only drawback to this is, your monitoring thresholds will need to be updated to reflect the result of this computation.

  • I bought a game that has 16.66 GB and my computer has 30 GB free, however when I try to install it it says there is not enough disk space available.

    Whenever I try to install the game it says there is not enough disk space available. I have tried to delete things that take up space but it did not help.
    Game:Napoleon Total War

    30GB's free disk space is not enough. If you don't free up storage space soon, your Mac may not boot which is why you see the, "not enough disk space available" dialog.
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

  • MTA msg:MSLOCAL: Less than 1 kBytes of disk space available

    I just started seeing these a few days ago and I know for a fact there is a huge amount of disk space on the server hosting the MTA, so I am not sure why these messages are appearing:
    <01/25/12 04:11:51> DIS: MSLOCAL: Less than 1 kBytes of disk space available
    <01/25/12 04:51:51> DIS: MSLOCAL: More than 1 kBytes of disk space available
    The messages have show up a handfull of times since 1/20. Could not find anything on other forums, or in the KB. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    This is the amount of LOG space configure for the POA ( see Console One --> POA Object --> logging configuration. ) You get this message when it exceeds the limit you specify and it has to clean up old logs to make room.... hence the "Less Than 1 KB" ( I deleted stuff ) "More Than 1 KB" pattern. You may just just started to exceed the size limit, and previously were just riding on the log file aging alone which would clean out old logs. You can up the limit if you want to ensure N-days of retained logs.

  • Problem: There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again.

    Hi there.
    I am running the newest FCPX 10.0.9 and Mavericks, and I am editing a large multicam project. I have approx. 190 GB left on my external event/project disk via USB3 (it has 2TB in total), and I get the error message:
    "There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again."
    when I am trying to add clips to an angle in one of my multicam clips. I have made more than 8 multicam clips in the same event, without that problem, but now it won't let me add more.
    What's the problem?

    This was driving me nuts as well until I found the sneaky checkbox. In the editing tab in Preferences there is a checkbox for "Optimize media for multicam." If that's checked, Final Cut is rendering ProRes files for every clip you bring into multicam, so it just eats memory. Unchecking that solved my issues; hope it helps you or anyone who comes across this!

  • SCOM does not generate alert for logical disk space

    Hi,
    Today we noticed that one of agent in SCOM has drive space below 5% and 500 MB but SCOM did not generate any alert.
    I have also verified that there is no override set for this agent's logical disks.  I have also verified that discovery is able to discover all disks on server but monitoring is not working as expected.
    I have flushed health service on agent but it didn't help.

    Stop the WMI Service; you may need to stop IP Helper Service first or other dependent services before it allows you to stop WMI Service
    Rename the repository folder:  C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\Repository to Repository.old
    Open a CMD Prompt with elevated privileges
    CD windows\system32\wbem

    Set the WMI Service type back to Automatic and start WMI Service

  • SCOM only monitoring disk space of a group of servers

    I have been looking for a way to setup SCOM to ONLY monitor the disk space on a specific group of servers. 
    We have a sandbox environment that consists of approximately 100 servers.  The only responsibility we have is to make sure these machines are patched.  Everything else related to the OS and Software is handled by the developers who own the sandbox,
    so no other monitors are needed.  Microsoft patches are failing because some of the C drives do not have enough disk space.  Is there a way to discover these servers and only have the disk monitored? All other monitors in SCOM can be ignored on these
    servers.
    Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.

    Without knowing what else you have in your SCOM environment, it could be a lot of work to start excluding this group of servers from all the other monitoring you have. 
    Other options you could consider are to allow the servers to be monitored, but somehow exclude those alerts from being sent in any subscriptions, or putting the components of those servers into Maintenance Mode other than the C: drives, but both of these
    options will still collect information on these 100 servers and take space in your SCOM DBs.
    You can refer to this page for how to use the free space monitor and override it for a group that will target your 100 servers. http://blogs.technet.com/b/jonathanalmquist/archive/2009/04/04/logical-disk-free-space-monitor.aspx

  • SCOM 2012 SP1 Test environment - "New View" is greyed out?

    I just created a SCOM 2012 SP1 test environment, but for some reason the "New View" button is greyed out. (I attached a screenshot) 
    I can't figure out why and it pretty frustrating. I'm assuming it is a permissions issue, but I can't figure out how to get this feature enabled.
    any assitance is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    The "New View" is greyed out if you try to create a new View in a sealed Management Pack.
    You can create a new View only in unsealed Management Pack's inside the console.
