La monitorización del espacio en disco es un componente básico, pero al mismo tiempo fundamental, de todo soporte de TI proactivo, esencial para reducir el volumen de tickets y mantener la integridad y la estabilidad del sistema. La falta o el agotamiento del espacio en disco puede causar, obviamente, toda una serie de problemas y quejas por parte de los usuarios, desde fallos en las aplicaciones hasta bloqueos del sistema completo, por lo que crear alertas cuando las unidades caigan por debajo de cierto umbral es una forma excelente de evitarlos.
Este post te enseñará a comprobar la capacidad del disco y a notificar en caso de poco espacio, de forma remota, en toda tu base de usuarios.
¿Cómo puedes comprobar el espacio del disco duro de forma remota y enviar una alerta cuando quede poco espacio?
- Identifica qué unidades quieres supervisar y cuáles deseas excluir (si es el caso).
- Determina los umbrales de espacio en disco que deseas establecer para cada tipo de unidad.
- Personaliza en consonancia el script que encontrarás a continuación.
Este script PowerShell ha sido diseñado para alertar sobre las unidades que están por debajo de cierto porcentaje o tamaño especificado y hace una distinción entre unidades de sistema (las que se utilizan para arrancar el sistema operativo) y unidades de datos, proporcionando una visión global del uso del espacio en disco
Es un script versátil y personalizable y permite establecer parámetros para las unidades de sistema y de datos por separado. Puedes especificar el espacio libre mínimo tanto en porcentaje como en bytes e incluso excluir determinadas unidades de la comprobación. Esta flexibilidad es ideal para cualquier profesional de TI o MSP.

.SYNOPSIS
Alert on drive(s) that fall below a specified % or size. Distinguishes between System and Data drives.
.DESCRIPTION
Alert on drive(s) that fall below a specified % or size. Distinguishes between System and Data drives.
The system drive is the drive(s) that are used to boot the OS.
.EXAMPLE
-SystemDriveMinFreePercent 10 -SystemDriveMinFreeBytes 10GB -DataDriveMinFreePercent 20 -DataDriveMinFreeBytes 20GB
This checks all Drives
.EXAMPLE
-ExcludeDrivesCustomField "C,Z" -SystemDriveMinFreePercentCustomField "SystemDriveMinFreePercent" -SystemDriveMinFreeBytes "SystemDriveMinFreeBytes" -DataDriveMinFreePercent "DataDriveMinFreePercent" -DataDriveMinFreeBytes "DataDriveMinFreeBytes"
This checks all Drives, except for C: and Z:.
Use this if you wish to to custom fields to specify the values from roles or globally.
This will pull the values from custom fields that would have otherwise been used from parameters.
.EXAMPLE
-ExcludeDrivesByNameCustomField "NoMonitor" -SystemDriveMinFreePercentCustomField "SystemDriveMinFreePercent" -SystemDriveMinFreeBytes "SystemDriveMinFreeBytes" -DataDriveMinFreePercent "DataDriveMinFreePercent" -DataDriveMinFreeBytes "DataDriveMinFreeBytes"
This checks all Drives, except where a drive name/label contains the text "NoMonitor".
Use this if you wish to to custom fields to specify the values from roles or globally.
This will pull the values from custom fields that would have otherwise been used from parameters.
.EXAMPLE
No Parameters Specified
This checks all Drives with the defaults:
SystemDriveMinFreePercent 10%
SystemDriveMinFreeBytes 10GB
DataDriveMinFreePercent 20%
DataDriveMinFreeBytes 20GB
.OUTPUTS
None

Cómo funciona el script Disk Space Monitor
El script funciona recopilando primero información sobre todas las unidades del sistema. Entonces, filtra las unidades que hayas decidido excluir y comprueba las restantes según los parámetros establecidos. Si alguna unidad queda por debajo del espacio libre mínimo especificado, el script te avisará, permitiéndote tomar medidas antes de que se convierta en un problema.
Una de las características más destacadas de este script es su capacidad para extraer valores de campos personalizados. Esto significa que puedes especificar valores globalmente o a partir de roles, añadiendo otra capa de personalización al script.
Transforma tu gestión de TI con NinjaOne
Si bien es posible monitorear el espacio en disco utilizando únicamente PowerShell desde un equipo local, hay una manera aún mejor de gestionar los recursos de TI de forma remota y a escala: NinjaOne.
NinjaOne es una plataforma de gestión unificada de TI que incorpora pasos de corrección, utilizando sripts si es necesario, en las políticas del dispositivo altamente flexibles, que determinan cuándo se alcanzan los umbrales de alerta y los pasos que deben tomarse a continuación. NinjaOne proporciona acceso a cientos de scripts que pueden resultar útiles, y la posibilidad de crear scripts propios en casi cualquier lenguaje de scripting.
NinjaOne puede ayudarte a supervisar y gestionar todos tus endpoints de TI a gran escala desde un único panel de control. Gracias a las políticas y los scripts, puedes automatizar prácticamente cualquier tarea rutinaria, desde la instalación de parches de software hasta la generación de informes, ahorrando tiempo y gestionando proactivamente las incidencias antes de que se conviertan en problemas.
