This resource model should be distributed to Windows endpoints. |
The Logical Disk resource model highlights the following problems:
This indicates the raw amount of data that is transferred through the disk. The maximum bytes per second that a disk subsystem can handle depends on the type of hard drive, the type of controller, the drive configuration, and, in the case of most IDE-based hard drives, the speed of the CPU.
Low disk space can often make it impossible to reboot a Windows NT machine. The threshold value is based on the percentage of free space on the disk. Administrators monitoring systems with disks of less than one gigabyte should raise this value. A good guideline is to keep enough free disk space to allow the pagefile to reach its maximum size limit.
The percentage of used disk often needs to be altered when monitoring file servers for bottlenecks. File servers, print servers, and mail servers use a high percent of disk space.
However, workstations typically use a high percentage of disk space in short bursts. Performance in CPU speed and general system response decline.
