DiskMonitor
FAQ

The DiskMonitor (DSM) program installs as a service under Windows. It allows you to specify which drives you want to monitor and where you want to send alerts when a space free space threshold has been exceeded. 

DSM enables network administrators to monitor local and networked disks, receive custom e-mails alerts, graphically view usage history, recurs entire disks to determine directory usage, and generate reports.

DiskMonitor uses a Windows Service to poll disk usage. The service can send warning and critical e-mail alerts as well as save usage information for graphical review.

Many disks can be configured at once or each disk configured separately.

All directories can be recursed enabling network administrators to determine which directories are using the most space and which directories have large numbers of files.

When the network administrator needs to disable alerting, all alerting can be disabled and later e-enabled with a single click of the mouse.

Two different emails can be sent out when disk usage runs low. One email can be sent to a desktop with detailed information while another email can be sent to a hand held device. Both email subjects are configurable and hand held device email subjects can be fully configured.

The disk usage charts can be fully configured and emailed to other users from within the application.
