Low Disk Space Alerts Not Logged in Windows 2022 Event Log

Question

Windows Server 2022 is not logging the Low Disk Space alerts for drives in the Windows Event Log. It appears that the event should have an Event ID 2013, but no such event is being logged.

Hi,

You may check the following registry keys are present.

For example, if free space is lower than 10%(0000000a), it triggers Event ID 2013

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters]

"DiskSpaceThreshold"=dword:0000000a

"LowDiskSpaceMinimum"=dword:00000000

Besides the above, you can create a scheduled task to query Event ID 2013 and send out an e-mail notification if necessary.

Besides the Event ID 2013, in the scheduled task, we can use a more accurate and active way to get the free space.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_LogicalDisk | ? {$_. DriveType -eq 3} | select DeviceID, @{label='Total Size (GB)';expression={[math]::round($_.Size /1GB,2)}}, @{label='Free Size (GB)';expression= {[math]::round($_.FreeSpace /1GB,2)}}
