SCOM monitor folder size if goes above threshold

Question

Trying to figure out how to include an PS script or VB script to throw an alert whenever folder
goes above threshold.

I got this from web adding the file path to the parameter field in ps script monitor
not seems to work

param($FolderPath)
$api = new-object -comObject 'MOM.ScriptAPI'
$bag = $api.CreatePropertyBag()

$Result = "{0:N2}" -f ((Get-ChildItem -path $FolderPath -recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum ).sum /1GB)
If($Result -gt "3")
{$bag.AddValue('Result','BAD')}
else
{$bag.AddValue('Result','GOOD')}
$bag

Hi,

It seems the logic is correct. Since the current method doesn't work, we may considering just passing the result and comparing this in the criteria.

In the powershell, just pass the result.

$Result = "{0:N2}" -f ((Get-ChildItem -path $FolderPath -recurse | Measure-Object -property length -sum ).sum /1GB)  
$bag.AddValue('Result',$Result)  
$bag  

Here's some screenshots from the lab, for your reference.

enter the script (if Linux computer, just provide the script path that already created in Linux)

configure the criteria (compare the current value with the threshold)

map health status

enable alerting and write the alert description if necessary

Hope the above information helps.
