Monitor Directory Size - Windows / Linux Servers

I want to see what is the top consuming folder that is utilizing more space for any drive that is more than 90%. Specifically for the C drives.

Do we have an option in SAM module to identify? Like a treesize report which gives us top consuming folders for any high consumption of OS drives

There is no native poller that does this. You need to create your own powershell script that does that for you. and put it in a SAM Component.

However, be aware that a "list directories" causes heavy load on a Server, as it needs to iterate through the whole disk. If you run this too frequently it might hammer down your server.

I would not run it any more often than every 2 hours.
