Where are you getting the Get-VmsDiskUsage.ps1 script from? I'm not seeing it as part of the samples (unless I'm missing it).

OK, it is what I was suspecting. This script is an older one that used Get-IServerProxyService. That has been removed (about 3 years ago) from MilestonePSTools because it was using unsupported APIs that could (and did) change from version to version making the function completely unreliable.

That script would return something like this for each camera: image

The "AvailableSpace" was the total amount of space across any live and archive databases that the camera was assigned to. This is one we could potentially look at updating with supported features but, for now, I'd suggest Get-VmsCameraReport. It obviously returns more data and takes longer but it can be filtered down to return less data (but it won't decrease the time). For example, they could run this command which returns the same information except for the total storage available across the live and archive databases.

Get-VmsCameraReport | Select-Object RecorderName, HardwareName, Name, UsedSpaceInGB, IsStarted | Out-GridView

That will return this: image

Tarterman commented 4 months ago

I updated the Get-VmsCameraDiskUsage function to use supported functionality.
