HM as quota monitor

Kris · Post by **Kris** » Mon Mar 21, 2022 7:47 am

Hi all,

HM does a great job at monitoring folder size.

I am thinking about using HM as a 'quota monitor' for user home folders in some way.
All my user folders reside on a single logical disk.
It would be great to be able to automagically enumerate all user folders and create folder-size tests for the found folders (if they don't already exist, that is).
Some external scripting might be involved, I reckon.

Any thoughts on that, anyone?

Best regards,
Kris

Update:

So I whipped up some VB to enumerate all user folders and create a text file containing all necessary data to be imported straight into HM.

Next step:
Find a way to schedule automagic test import in HM...

What about WMI test?
select DiskSpaceUsed from Win32_DiskQuota
Alert if any DiskSpaceUsed > 1000000

Find a way to schedule automagic test import in HM..

There is ImportFromFile HMScript command
https://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfr ... #actScript

HMScript action can be started by Scheduler (Options dialog) or assigned to some test (e.g. File/Folder Availability or File Integrity test that will check for file updates)
