Hi.
I would like an Sensor to display the total capasity of an Disk. If the Sensor would show the free disk space too, it would be nice. But first of all, i need the Total Capasity of the Disk Sensor.
Best regards Jan Iversen.
How can I monitor total capacity on Windows Disk.

Dear jki
The SNMP Disk Free sensor also shows the total capacity of a monitored volume. You can make the according channel the primary one by hovering over its gauge which shows a small pin icon in the bottom-right corner of the gauge box. If you click it, that channel is made the primary channel.
The WMI Volume sensor however does not show the total capacity. If you want to create your own WMI sensor with Powershell, please try this statement
The powershell script now needs to put the output of the gwmi command into an XML structure which can be read by PRTG's Exe/Script Advanced sensor.
