File System Space Check

Generate an Alert when the available free space on the file system at the selected volume drops below the configured threshold figure, percentage or absolute value (Bytes, Mbytes, Gbytes).

When a check is added or edited, the new settings are downloaded to the Agent the next time it communicates back to the All Devices view and they are applied when the check runs after that.
