Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the percentage of space on a disk available for the System Restore service. The System Restore service configuration for the percentage of space available (by default this value is 12%) applies to all the computer’s drives. If you enter a lower value for the threshold, this script raises an event, because the percentage of disk space available for the System Restore Service, as configured, exceeds the threshold you set.
If the amount of free disk space on a system drive falls below 200 MB, or if the amount of free disk space on a non-system drive falls below 80 MB, it is advisable to configure System Restore to turn off automatically on that drive. This script also raises an event if the space available for System Restore on any system or non-system drive falls below the threshold you set.

The default interval for this script is Run once.
Set the following parameters as needed:
|
Parameter |
How to Set It |
|---|---|
|
Raise event if percentage of disk space exceeds threshold? |
Set to y to raise an event when the percentage of disk space configured for System Restore exceeds the threshold. The event detail message will include the disk space available for System Restore for each individual drive. The default is y. |
|
Raise event if space available on a drive falls below threshold? |
Set to y to raise an event when the space available for System Restore on any system or non-system drive falls below the threshold. The default is n. |
|
Collect data for percentage of disk space being used? |
Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If enabled, data collection returns the percentage of disk space that is configured for System Restore. The default is n. |
|
Collect data for space available on individual drive |
Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If enabled, data collection returns the space available for System Restore on any system or non-system drive. The default is n. |
|
Threshold - Maximum disk space configured for System Restore |
Specify the maximum percentage of disk space that can be configured for System Restore before an event is raised. The default is 12%. |
|
Threshold - Minimum disk space available on system drive |
Specify the minimum amount of disk space (in MB) that should be available for System Restore on a system drive to prevent an event from being raised. The default is 200 MB. |
|
Threshold - Minimum disk space available on non-system drive |
Specify the minimum amount of disk space (in MB) that should be available for System Restore on a non-system drive to prevent an event from being raised. The default is 80 MB. |
|
Event severity when disk space available cannot be retrieved |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the amount of available disk space cannot be determined. The default is 8. |
|
Event severity when disk space configured for System Restore exceeds threshold |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the amount of configured disk space exceeds the threshold. The default is 8. |
|
Event severity when space available on individual drive falls below threshold |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the amount of available disk space for an individual drive falls below the threshold. The default is 5. |
