Diskspace Monitor
=================

This monitor checks the available and used space on all hard disks in the 
system. All hard disks present in the system are automatically checked. New 
disks are automatically detected. One event specifying the maximum size and the 
used size is generated per disk. The Disk Space Monitor runs continuously based 
on an interval set in the configuration.

*Service - Diskspace Monitor*


Check Interval
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

**File Configuration field:**
  nSleepTime

**Description:**
  This is the interval in which the service status is checked. This period is 
  specified in :doc:`milliseconds <../glossaryofterms/millisecond>`. This 
  monitor checks the available and used space on all hard disks in the system. 
  All hard disks present in the system are automatically checked. New disks are 
  automatically detected. One event specifying the maximum size and the used 
  size is generated per disk. The Disk Space Monitor runs continuously based on
  an interval set in the configuration.

  The default is 60,000 ms, which is one minute. This should be sufficient for a 
  typical server. If you would like to have the disk space check run less 
  often, you might for example use the value of 3,600,000 for one hour (or a 
  multiple for multiple hours).

  For performance reasons, we do not recommend using an interval of less than 
  30,000 ms.
