Intune reporting with Log Analytics: analyze disk size to see what's taking up place

4 A+ A-


In this post I will show you a report of devices with low disk space allowing you to understand what takes place and resolve it.

 

The solution

This will resume in few steps:

- Creating a Proactive Remediation sript

- This script will be executed on your devices

- It will check some information

- It will send info to Log Analytics

 

Get the files

Click on the below GitHub picture to get required below files:

- LA_DiskSize_workbook.json

- Detection_script.ps1



How it looks like ?

The Log Analytics will display below information:

- Disk full size, free space, free space percent, OneDrive size on disk...

- Devices with low disk space (per model)

- Top 10 models with low disk space

- Top 10 devices with low disk space

- Devices with Always keep on device checked at OneDrive root

- Larger folders in current user profile for devices with less than 20% free space

- Larger folders in C:\Users for devices with less than 20% free space

- Larger folders in C:\ for devices with less than 20% free space

 

The workbook is divided in 3 tabs:

- Disk size resume

- OneDrive usage

- View larger content on disk


See below an overview:






See below details.


Disk size resume tab

Device free space percent

You can find a pie chart with number of devices per free space %.


Devices with low disk space (per model)

Top 10 models with low disk space

Top 10 devices with low disk space

Device size details

The following grid will display different information relative to disk space on devices:

- Computer name

- Free space %

- OneDrive size on disk %

- Disk size

- Disk freespace

- OneDrive size

- OneDrive size on disk

- Desktop size

- Desktop size on disk

- Documents size

- Documents size on disk

- Pictures size

- Pictures size on disk



OneDrive usage tab

OneDrive size on disk percent

You can find a pie chart with number of devices per OneDrive size on disk %.

 

Always keep on device option

This option is a OneDrive option that you can enabled on a folder or at OneDrive root.

If you enable it at OneDrive root all your documents will be stored locally too.

It means it can have a huge impact on disk size.

The following chart will check how many devices have this option enabled at OneDrive root.

See below an overview:


Then the workbook displays list of devices that have this option enabled:



Larger content on disk tab

Now we have information about disk size, the next step is to know what take more space on disk.

The next grids allows you to display larger content on devices that have less than 20% of free disk space.

 

Larger folders in current user profile


Larger folders in C:


Larger folders in C:\Users



Filters
On each tab there are two filters available:
- Filter by model
- Filter on disk free space 


The first one allows to see result for some specific models.
See below an overview:


The secondone allows to see result depending of free disk size.

Would this work with other disks then C: if I run it on servers?

Hello
thx for the nice post
I have 2 failed users in the "device status" section.
What does it mean ?

Very nice script and workbook!
The columns HardDiskSizeMb_d and DesktopSizeOnDiskMb_d are missing on the DiskSize_CL table.
Tried adding the columns but I'm unable to save the changes (the Save button is greyed out). I see the suggestion to update to DCR-based custom logs, but it could be too much work to get these two columns.
The reports work if I edit the JSON to remove those columns; if anyone has a solution to this, I'll appreciate it.
Thank you!

Hi Damien,
Thank you for this Solution, just testet it out. It works great.
Maybe you can help me with my question. In the Report, the Size of the Recycle Bin shows me very large numbers, i.e. 1.995PiB and 61,143TiB. Why is that? Did i do something wrong ?

regards
Kudi
