SCOM alerts on disk space C drive only

Hi,
My goal is to write a runbook to monitor the SCOM alert on low disk space and then trigger a command to remove a pre-defined list of folders/files on C drive when the free space is below 10%
On Monitor Alert activity, I have already applied 2 filters
1. Name Contains Percentage Logic Disk Free Space is low
2.  Severity Equals Warning (as it has been configured as 10% free space)
How do I define the filters to trigger this runbook when these new alerts that only happens on C drive
Thanks,
Jimmy

I have tried a filter with  MonitoringObjectDisplayName = C: and  MonitoringObjectDisplayName contains C:, that did not trigger the next activity although I can see that it passed the value of C: to both parameters.
I am going to try the filter with "Description contains C:" as I did not see the option - "Start with"

  • 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.

  • Low Disk Space Recovery Drive D

    My computer is an hp G60 121WM, which is Vista Home Premium running windows Vista 32 bit OS.  I messed up while in 'backup and restore' and sent the backup to the partitioned drive (D) used for system recovery.  Is there any way to access this drive or remove the mess I sent there?  It won't let me in by the simple route of trying to open it from the 'computer' dialog.  I can't use backup and restore now, and every time I boot up the computer I get the message that I have low disk space in drive D.  It's not a real problem (so far), but is very irritating.  And if I ever do need to do a restore (back to a previous automated backup) I'll be unable to do that.  I'll appreciate any help from more seasoned users.  Thanks
    ps.  I don't quite understand why hp recovery drive being full impacts windows backup and restore, so the problem with that may be coincidental.  You tell me.  As you can see, I'm not well versed in computer use!

    A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
    http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    When installed, launch Free Commander, click the D partition in the toolbar and look for any files that obviously don't belong here, cut them out and paste to a location of your choice on the C Partition.
    After doing this, make sure that Windows Backup and Restore is directed to a new location.

  • How to free up disk space on drive C

    We have been running Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Sp1 for a number of years now without any apparent problems. We have noticed over this period, the free space on the 'C' drive diminishing over time. We are now at a point where housekeeping
    needs to be undertaken to prevent disk space issues occurring in the future.
    1) Is there an in-built utility that would identify what applications or directories are using the most space? If not, are you aware of a utility that could offer this functionality i.e. Treesize. Does Microsoft offer a utility?, maybe as part of Systernals?
    2) The 'C' drive is 60Gb in size (I believe this was the default size during the install). When the server was initially installed, it had 20Gb free space on drive 'C'. At the point of writing, free space is now 7Gb. All installed applications and user shares
    are pointing to a second drive (D). I'm assuming that the increase in used space is caused by log files or windows updates.
    2) I've manually scoured the 'C' drive and noticed that folder 'C:\Windows\winsxs' is 10.6Gb in size. I believe this folder relates to Windows Updates. Are we able to carry out housekeeping on this folder? If so, please could you advise the correct way of achieving
    this. The 'Disk Cleanup' utility only offers to clean up 1.2Gb which is not enough.
    I hope someone can offer some assistance.

  • Warning about low disk space on drive E

    Hi,
    I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion Elite HPE. My main drive i s C and there is also D (Factory image) and then the HP(E: ) one which is giving the warning about low disk space. When I look at what there is in drive E there is a folder called "my name"-PC with a lot of "Backup Set" folders/files in it, and then there is a folder called WindowsImageBackup and subfolder "my name"-PC.
    I know I have to clean out these folders but I ma very insecure as to what I can delete.
    I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advice in this matter!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    File History in Windows 7 is an extensive image backup of your drive which will steadily increase over time and needs to be cleared and suggest that you turn the feature off.  It is not very efficient.
    If you wish to delete this  Windows Image Backup file, you should disable  the automatic backup feature of Windows.
    Click on Start button > Control Panel > System and Maintenance> Backup and Restore.
    In the left pane, click on "Turn Off Schedule".
    From there you can delete the backup files on your E drive.
    I also suggest as an alternative, use Macrium Reflect Free every so often as it is more efficient and reliable.  It will make a complete image back up of your entire hard drive to an external hard drive.  Don't forget to create a rescue disk.
    Go to this site and do a Custom Install:
    http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
    I personally use the Professional Edition which gives me more flexibility and features.

  • 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:

  • Ran out of disk space - 1TB drive

    I've run out of disk space for back up with my 1 TB drive I use for TM. The key reason is because of the HD files I am using for my home movies not to mention the media I have been buying off of iTunes.
    I have an unused 500GB drive. Can I somehow create a "RAID" drive that can "combine" my 1TB drive and my 500GB drive into 1 drive that TM can use? I know RAID drives can be created using Disk Utility, but I am not sure if this is really the purpose of a RAID drive.
    Any insights?
    Tony

    no.
    Although it is possible to create a raid using 2 drives of different sizes, the size of the raid will be slightly smaller than 2x the size of the smallest drive..and you will lose the 'extra' space on the larger drive.
    Raids are also better suited for internal drive configurations - that way, you can't accidentally break your RAID by (accidental or intentionally) disconnecting a drive. If you break your raid, you have lost all your data.
    Hazard of a 2 drive raid is data loss. Unless you are using 3 drives, data integrity is compromised. (raid with error recovery requires a 3rd drive)

  • Running out of disk space - External Drive Advice

    Hi,
    I've been importing all of our HDV video in "Large" fomat (Not the original or full size). We have an Apple TV so wanted to get the qaulity up for our large TV.
    Anyway, we have lots of digital pics, huge iTunes library and now I'm starting to run out of disk space with all of my iMovie imports.
    I would like to buy a huge external drive to help offload:
    Is there any reason I should be concerned about storing my video on external drive? Any editing performance issues?
    I use time machine, if I buy a huge external, can I split it in half and use part for time machine and part for imovie?
    Just curious.
    Thx,
    Brent

    I agree that you can make this work. Your external drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). You can do this as you are creating your 2 partitions in Disk Utility, if it has a different formatting when you buy it.
    If you want to move your Events from your internal drive to your new external drive, you need to do it from within iMovie so you do not break the links to your projects. To do this, open iMovie and click VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME. You should be able to see a small icon in your Event Library List for your external drive. You can Command-Drag your event icons in the event library list to this icon for your external, and all the links to your projects will be preserved. (hold down the command key while dragging). If you do a simple drag and drop, it will copy not move.

  • Alerts about disk space

    I am a new admin as the old one has left.  He apparently set up alerts for low disk space on the exchange server.  I keep getting the alerts but the frequency at which they come is at an insanely fast pace.  I want to edit it but not sure
    where.
    How can i tell if this is a script or perfmon, etc?
    thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    In addition to the above information,
    Please check your exchange server for registry setting -
    DiskSpaceThreshold value to confirm whether the email alert is triggered on event id - 2013 and to alter the percentage of free disk space available before an alert is logged.

  • Weird situation, disappearing disk space while using only few applications

    Hello
    I got a weird warning when I had about 20gb of disk space available that my start up disk was empty and that I had to force quit Firefox, Finder and itunes.
    I restarted the computer and once again there was approximately 20 gb left of disk space again, but looking at it, it started disappearing quickly all the way until I got the same warning. This time the applications I was using were Firefox, Ical, Mail and my widgets.
    I restarted the computer once again and the 20gb were there again.
    Anyone help me or have a clue what's going on?
    Thanks!!!

    Hey Chris. that is happening to me too! I was using iTunes last night to update my iPad. First when I booted up, it gave me a "no camera detected" error (never happened before), then it says I had no free disk space as it tried to backup my iPad. I checked the hard disk and it said I had zero KB's available. So I deleted or moved a bunch of videos, pics, and files off of the computer and got it to have 13 GB's free on the hard drive. Then I rebooted and tried again. Same errors, showing 13 GB free at first but during iPad syncing, it fails saying that I have not enough free disk space and then I check it and its says I have zero space left. Shut down and restart, and I have 13 GB's free again. Its maddening and I dont know whats going on! I was afraid my hard drive is gonna fail! If anyone else can help us, or Chris if you found out what was happening, please let me know! I have an older model MacBook Pro from about 2005. it has been slow lately but otherwise working fine! Please help! Thanks! Tom

  • HP tx1250ea laptop Error Message "Low Disk Space" D drive (HP Recovery) is apparantly full

    I have accessed the D drive but the only folder that appear to be there is the HP Recovery. In addition to the Recovery folder I was expecting to see other Windows files that could be safely deleted. I accessed the drive via Free Commander as recommended earlier in this forum. Not really computer savvy so would very much appreciate some help 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The recovery partition is designed to be very full since it remains the same.
    You can simply remove the drive letter from the D: partition and the message will go away. This will not affect the ability to use the recovery partition by the F11 recovery option; it will just be unlettered in Windows.

  • REFS, lost hard disk space after Windows defragmentation

    Hi,
    first some short information about the Server.
    Windows Server 2012 Datacenter
    OS disk = 60 GB SSD
    Physical raid Controller: Areca ARC-1261
    Raid  = Level 6
    Used Disks = 11 x 2TB + 1 hot spare
    File system = REFS
    Usable space = 16,3 TB
    Real used space (what the tools and folder properties counted) = 14,0 TB
    Used space (what i see in the computer overview) = 15,4 TB
    Unknown space what I could see with disk scan tool (or the tools calculated) = 1,4 TB
    So here what you could quickly see that i've got a "little" problem with wasted/unknown space....
    How the Problem originated:
    The system drive is a SSD, after running this Server about 150 days and unnecessary little Windows problems i remembered the garbage collector for SSD (TRIM).
    So i wanted to schedule with "Defragment and Optimize Drives" an automatic job for cleaning the drive.
    My problem was, that I couldn't deselect the big raid volume, but i gave it a try an scheduled weekly the optimization.
    Next day i got some alerts "low disk space warnings", i've lost about 1 TB of disk space but could not explain how I could lost this amount of space.
    After starting a resizing of the raid, i counted with file property the real used space and could not explain the shown size in the overview.
    What I've tried to fix this problem:
    First of all, a lot of google....
    Shadow copy: checked, fully cleaned, disabled = nothing just a few GB.
    Backup: checked, fully cleaned, disabled = nothing, but ran under an extra disk but... could never know what's wrong
    Folder options: enabled this far that i could see system protected files and default hidden
    Safe boot = tried a safe boot (some solutions for different user in the web) = nothing could not see more or less
    O & O Defrag (latest server edition) = didn't support REFS
    last of it, new clean installation of windows
    My Questions:
    Is defragmentation on refs possible/useful or is it just an bug with that  "Defragment and Optimize Drives" tool?
    Are the any information's about fixing troubles on REFS or commands on PS oder cmd? (could not find anything on google)
    I've got some books for WS2012 and e-books but there are no helpful information's about REFS.
    I know this is a big text block, but i wanted to show you detailed the problem and my attempts to solve this problem. 
     I hope you could help me or show me new ways to solve this problem.
    Tanks in future....!

    ReFS formats by default to 64KB block sizes (shows up in Disk Management as "Allocation Unit Size" when you go try formatting).
    NTFS formats by default to 4 KB block sizes and up to 64KB.
    If you have 1 file that is 4KB in size, and you use ReFS (default block size), it's going to occupy the entire 64KB.  That is true of NTFS if you choose to format in 64KB (required for SQL and Hyper-V VHD's and VHDX's).
    If your files are smaller than 64K, then stick with NTFS.
    Yong Rhee [MSFT]
    That is true for the defaults for ReFS but its possible to use a smaller allocation size using the options. Unfortunately most never think to do that.
