Use this Knowledge Script to monitor space utilization and date information about the Web applications on the SharePoint server. The space information refers to the size of the file, and the date information refers to when the file was last modified.
Space utilization information includes the number of Web applications that have been added recently, along with the number of existing Web applications that have been modified, and Web applications that have been deleted. You can obtain detailed information about SharePoint Web application types such as documents, document libraries, and lists in report format.
This script helps you quickly locate the Web applications that are using more than the maximum amount of allotted space. The script raises an event if date or space utilization exceeds the threshold you set.
Note that the SharePoint module only discovers Web applications with at least one site collection. This script raises an event if the Web application has no site collections or if there is no data available for the Web application.
Web application information is displayed in report format, which you can customize.
