Disk Space Monitor
Monitor Free Disk Space and Ensure Continuous Network Performance
Why is Disk Space Monitoring Important?
Installing automatic updates, logging usage data, or entering data into accounting or CRM software: in any network, there are many processes that write data to the hard disks. In order to ensure the continuous functioning of these processes and avoid data loss, it is critical to trace free disk space. Administrators need to know if a hard disk is likely to run out of space soon, so that they can take appropriate action.
Benefits of Using a Disk Space Monitor
Using a free disk space monitor such as PRTG Network Monitor makes this task much easier. The network software keeps track of hard disk usage across your network and alerts you when you are running low on disk space. You can decide how often the software is to check available space and you can set alarms to warn you when a certain threshold is being crossed. For example, you can choose to be notified when the available disk space is less than 25%, or less than a certain amount in MB. This will give you enough time to delete files that are no longer used, move files to other locations, or upgrade your hardware. It is recommended to use the free disk space monitor for all your web servers, file servers, application servers, etc, to ensure maximum security.
PRTG Network Monitor - More Than a Free Disk Space Monitor
However, PRTG is not only a disk space monitor, but also a full-fledged network monitoring software. Its functionality includes CPU monitoring, RAM monitoring, server availability monitoring, bandwidth tracking, VoIP monitoring, etc. It is therefore a complete solution that allows you to monitor hardware and software, memory and processor load. This way, PRTG gives you a complete view of your network and helps you to proactively troubleshoot any issues and avoid downtimes and data losses.
