Monitor warning and alarm limits

Monitoring the warning limit and alarm limits on your system enables you to generate warnings and alarms when the available drive space on the system is past a certain threshold.

Note: This procedure can also be used to create Calculated Fields to monitor FreeSpace and DiskSize.
