Disk Space Test
This test monitors the space usage of every disk partition on a host. While this test typically reports the space usage of every physical disk partition on a host, when monitoring hosts running Microsoft Windows hosts however, this test reports usage metrics of physical and logical partitions.
Target of the test : Any host system
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each physical/logical disk partition and/or NFS drive on the host monitored

Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Total capacity: |
Indicates the total capacity of a disk partition. |
MB |
|
Used space: |
Indicates the amount of space used in a disk partition. |
MB |
|
Free space: |
Indicates the current free space available for each disk partition of a system. |
MB |
|
Percent usage: |
Indicates the percentage of space usage on each disk partition of a system. |
Percent |
A value close to 100% can indicate a potential problem situation where applications executing on the system may not be able to write data to the disk partition(s) with very high usage. |
Drive availability: |
Indicates whether/not this drive is available currently. |
Percent |
If the drive is available, then this measure will report the value 100. If not, then this measure will report the value 0. This measure gains significance when monitoring NFS drives, as it enables you to identify those drives that are no longer mapped to the system. |
