Remotely Monitoring Free Disk Space on Web Servers
IPCheck Server Monitor user R. Hesse asked our support team for a solution to monitor the free disk space on a remote server using a small PHP script. The problem is that if your webserver is located outside of your LAN it is usually not possible to monitor the free disk space using SNMP or Windows System Sensors due to firewalls and security restrictions.
But using a small PHP script we could supply our customer with a simple and quick solution to monitor the free diskspace on his remote web server. And this concept can easily be enhanced with more complex scripts.
