File System Space Change Check

The File System Space Change Check monitors changes in file system utilization, and it generates an Alert if the data at the selected volume grows by more than n percent in a 24 hour period.

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.
