Having an issue monitoring a volume mounted under a folder.

profzoom1

I need to monitor the size of a volume mounted under a folder on a san.

I can see the WMI monitor I need to get but the queuery is not returning any value just giving me an error.

Here is what I am trying to do below.

select PercentFreeSpace from Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk WHERE Name = "F:\Archive\2009\Q3"

Error Invalid Queuery is my result

I can see all my drives, I can get the "_total" but I can't get any of the drive's that I see in WMI monitor to just

give me the data I want.

Is there anyone that can help with this?

Can you try the following

select PercentFreeSpace from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk WHERE Name = "F:\\Archive\\2009\\Q3"

This also happens when trying the same queuery here

select PercentFreeSpace from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_PhysicalDisk Where Name ="F:\Archive\2009\Q3"

I have attached a screenshot with what I am trying to get circled.

Why will this not work if I can see it within this WMIexplorer, yes I know the end " is missing from the screenshot but adding them doesn't make it work either. Sorry didn't want to have to save and upload a new file.

That worked like a charm.

Is there anywhere to find references on how to set these up?

I would have never thought to use \\ between each folder name.
