Right-click on the VM -&gt; Alarms -&gt; New Alarm Definition -&gt; Trigger: VM Total Size on Disk -&gt; Action: Send a notification email<br />
<br />
You can also use Veeam One, Spiceworks, Nagios, Zabbix... They will monitor it for you too.

How to get alerts in Windows 2012/2016/2019 servers before the Hard Drive becomes full, in VMware vCenter 6.5

How to get alerts  on VMware vCenter  before a VM's HardDisk before full?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
