Description
DiskMonitor® enables network
administrators and users to easily monitor network and local drive
usage. Using DiskMonitor users can receive email notification when a
drive is running low on space.
Receiving email notification isn't
the only feature though. DiskMonitor enables users to review drive
usage over time. This feature enables users to determine when a
drive is likely to fill or how often large amounts of data are
transferred to and from the drive.
DiskMonitor also enables users to
recurs drives to determine what folders are taking up the most
space. Along side this feature users can generate reports which can
be imported into spreadsheet programs.
DiskMonitor consists of three
components. A user interface for configuring DiskMonitor, a service
that does the work whenever the system is running, and a tray icon
for visual alerts and invoking the user interface.
Features
- Monitors network shares
- Sends email notifications that
include a report of all monitored drives
- Generates configurable charts that
show off drive usage over time
- Generates comma separated reports of
drive and folder usage
- Supports MAPI and SMTP
- Configurable monitor interval
- Runs on Windows 2000/XP
- DSM utilizes Windows Services so
drives and shares can be monitored while no user is logged on.
(Note: The personal version only runs on workstation versions of
Windows 2000 and XP but can map
up to 4 remote shares)

Screen Shots
The user interface has three views.
There is a tree view that displays all local drives and monitored
shares. To the right is a list view that displays detailed information
about the drive or share. Lastly, there is a log view that displays
messages generated by the DiskMonitor service.
Another shot shows the folder
information for a selected network share. The total size and file
count is included and optionally sorted by size. Also notice the log
view has been hidden.
This shot shows the chart dialog.
Virtually all aspects of the chart can be modified and saved for later
viewing. This functionality enables easy viewing of multiple formats.
When configuring an alert, important
information regarding the drive or share is included. Email
notifications can be generated when free space drops below a
percentage or actual gigabytes, megabytes, kilobytes, or bytes free. |
