[Trigger] Available Disk Space

Q100021: [Trigger] Available Disk Space

Checks disk space on a specified volume and fires when specified condition is met

Parameter In/Out Description Other Info
Drive/volume InOut Drive or volume specification to be checked
Threshold amount InOut Threshold amount to compare drive or volume available space against. Default: 95
Threshold type InOut Choices: Percentage, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB
The type of value the threshold is comparing against.
Default: Percentage
Trigger threshold InOut Choices: Above, Below
Should this be triggered when the amount of available disk space crosses the line defined and remains above/below the specified threshold value?
Default: Below
Minutes between checks In How often to check, in minutes (minimum = 1) Default: 5
Minutes before triggering In The conditions must be satisfied for at least this many minutes before the trigger is executed (0 = instantly) Default: 10
Minutes between triggers In After triggering, allow at least this many minutes to pass before triggering again (0 = no time limit) Default: 0
SpaceAvailable Out The amount of available disk space on the specified volume. The value is scaled in accordance to the input threshold amount based on the ThresholdSizeOrPercentage setting.
VolumeSize Out The size of the disk space on the specified volume. The value is scaled in accordance to the input threshold amount based on the ThresholdSizeOrPercentage setting.

Notes

This trigger can be used to perform direct actions when the amount of disk space on a specified locale disk volume drops below or rises above a certain threshold. Exercise caution using this trigger as it is easy for jobs to cause the trigger to move back and forth over a defined threshold if the job is working with files on the same monitored disk volume.
