Need a tool to obtain server disk capacity summary

Everest is a great tool- i know you just need something simple, but incase you need more, Everest has it.  Very basic or very advanced and robust reporting-- it even has scheduling, usage, uptime and downtime stats for each workstation.

Aida32 will gather a lot of info - not sure if it can do the Netware servers tho - worth a look.

Otherwise, if you have a Linux box to run it on, look at Nagios.

Solution 1: (easiest)

One solution, just run a local (one-liner!) script and run it as a scheduled task.  You can email the results to yourself if you so wish.  For a Windows SMTP exedcutable, take a look at "Vmailer", and for Netware... anyone...?

Solution 2:

As ccomley said, you can use Nagios and run it on a Linux machine.  Install NSClient++ (and configure NRPE only) on each Windows machine, and use the check_pdm Nagios plugin from http://www.itefix.no/i2/download to get the info you need.  How you'd do it in Netware, I don't know - but there are plugins available.

Thanks for the replies, Ive looked at 'Everest', too many features than what i need and the output is too busy.  I really just need something that can just pipe the disk use / free as 1 line per server to a text file

Dont have a linux server available either.

Is there a native Windows command that gan grab this without adding a million lines of extra data. Ive just looked at the diskpart.exe tool and its not giving me what I want.
If I can get a commad to list just what i need, I can script it for all the server volumes.

The netware volume data is proving problematic.  i think I can get it from Adrem server manager, - but its $1000 per server. I need a cheaper (read free) solution

For Windows:

This script: check_disk.vbs is written to be used with Nagios, but it's just a .VBS script which you can run standalone.  You can then do whatever you like with the output.

To get help:

       cscript //NoLogo check_disk.vbs /h

Sample command (for all drives):

       cscript //NoLogo check_disk.vbs /w:0 /c:0 /p /u:GB

Sample command (for drive C:):

       cscript //NoLogo check_disk.vbs /w:0 /c:0 /p /d:C /u:GB

Sample command (for drives C: and G:)

       cscript //NoLogo check_disk.vbs /w:0 /c:0 /p /d:CG /u:GB

I hope this is what you're looking for.

Whoops, my link above doesn't work... here it is:

check_disk (download the .VBS file)

sda100:  - thanks for the input, Ive played around with the nagios script but cant really get it do output what I want.
Ignoring the netware for now - i've almost got it right with a Windows powerscript.

this code: -
get-wmiobject -computer (get-content servers.txt) -class Win32_LogicalDisk -filter "DriveType=3" | Select SystemName,DeviceID,Size,FreeSpace | out-file c:\temp2\diskscript\report.txt

Outputs: -

SystemName          DeviceID                           Size           FreeSpace
----------          --------                           ----           ---------
server1             C:                          10739494912           620572672
server2              D:                         589257764864        440090234880

this is almost exaxctly what I need, - I'm just missing the %used field.
Any powerscript experts know how to add a %used field?
thx

Congratulations on the solution, and thanks for posting it back here.

Steve :)
