Issue
Need to automate the process to monitor the total disk space and available disk space and send an alert at a
predetermined threshold in order to prevent running out of space and the problems that would be associated.

Resolution
*Warning: Irreparable database damage can occur. This procedure should only be performed by users familiar with SQL Server Management Studio. Databases should be backed up prior to performing this procedure.*

The following stored procedure sends an alert when any drive size drops below a set threshold and also
includes an attachment of all the folders and files inside each folder and its size in Bytes in the drive where
we have the space deficiency. Also in the mail, it provides the information about which drive is running low on space.

To implement this:
1) highlight and copy the script below or download the attached file to a desired location
2) launch SQL Server Management Studio either: 3) execute the script within the Query window to create the stored procedure
4) create a new scheduled SQL job to execute the stored procedure with your parameters as per the Example contained in the script.
** Further information on how to create and schedule a SQL job can be found within your SQL Server documentation or obtained using the Help within SSMS.
