Hi folks! So further to my last post, once you’ve decided on free space for your LUN, how the heck do you monitor it?

There are a few scripts out there that will do this for you and a few free programs that will show you the free space. But how do you get it to check and then email you an alert if you go past your set threshold? Veeam of course!

The good people at Veeam have a product called Veeam Monitor, which will not only monitor your storage but also monitor a myriad of other VMware related things. Features such as hardware monitoring and performance analysis will also help you with your VMware administration duties.

You can check out the free version of Veeam Monitor here and if you like it you can then opt to purchase the full product.
