I am looking for a script to monitor the disk space usage of the datastores on my ESXi 4 server. The script is more flexible and I can also
schedule it to run every 5 or 10 minutes from the Task Scheduler.
why i want this: Closely monitoring the disk space means we can detect when VM's continue to run on helper snapshots or other delta, causing the delta files to grow enormously (eventually eating all the disk space).
I don't want to use third party software/tools.(RVTools not giving me the required information.)
I was thinking to remotely execute the df -h then greping the outputs.. is it possible to do this from a Windows BOX ?
I know on linux we can do this.
Please advise.
Thanks
