Disk Space Analysis
WebWorkstationUse the Disk tab in an endpoint detail view to review disk space, capture a local snapshot, and compare space use over time. Disk analysis is available while the endpoint is online and your technician session is unlocked.
Review live disk space
Open an endpoint and select Disk. Choose a reported volume to see its available space and local snapshot history. The Hardware tab also shows the endpoint's current disk usage.
If the endpoint does not report an eligible mounted volume, the Disk tab has no volume to analyze.
Capture and schedule snapshots
- Select the volume you want to analyze.
- Select Capture now to create a snapshot.
- Watch the progress indicator while ZynoRMM counts folders and files.
- Enable Daily snapshots to keep local comparison points for that volume.
Only one snapshot capture runs on an endpoint at a time. Select the cancel control if an active capture needs to stop. A cancelled or failed capture does not replace a completed snapshot.
Snapshots remain on the endpoint. The snapshot history is bounded, so it gives you recent time-tier comparisons instead of a permanent file history.
Compare space use
After an endpoint has snapshots, select the Before and After capture times. The Space change section shows folders with the largest change. Select a folder to inspect its changed direct subfolders, or select Back to volume to return to the top level.
The Large files section lists files that meet the snapshot's large-file threshold. If it says that results are truncated, it shows the largest stored results rather than every matching file.
Disk snapshots record aggregate folder sizes and a bounded large-file index. They do not provide a full file inventory or file contents.
Common issues
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| The Disk tab is locked | Complete the secure technician-session or hardware-authenticator prompt. |
| No volumes appear | Confirm the endpoint is online and reports a mounted volume that the agent can analyze. |
| A capture does not start | Wait for any active capture to finish or cancel it, then try again. |
| A scheduled capture setting does not save | Refresh the Disk tab and retry. Another technician can save a newer policy first. |
| There is no comparison | Capture snapshots at two different times, then select them as Before and After. |
