Monitor size on disk instead of normal size

Votes:

0

We have a situation where we are using Azure Filesync with iets tiering solution. On-prem file server is used as a cache for the file share that is located in Azure.

We would like to use PRTG to monitor the Size on disk value: https://imgur.com/4vFop7G

The normal folder sensor is capable of reading the complete size. But there has to be some WMI/Powershell way with a custom sensor to read the size on disk value?

Hi there,

I'm afraid there is no integrated way on monitoring the value of "Size on disk", there is also no WMI counter for this.

The only option I see is by creating a Powershell Script for that in combination with a Custom Script Sensor:

Thank you for your understanding that we're not able to provide support for custom scripts.

Kind regards,
