Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the directories you specify. The Knowledge Script checks the disk space used by the directories you specify and the number of files under those directories. You can set this Knowledge Script to check directories recursively or to only check in the directories you specify, and to raise an event when disk usage is over the threshold you set or when the number of files in a directory is over the threshold you set.
