Disk Alert (please help!)

Hi,
I want to setup an alert to let me know when my disk reaches 80% capacity
(20% space available).
I did the following :
1) Set the diskperf-ym switch and restarted the server.
2) Added the logical disk - disk free space counter in the perfmon
3) Set the alert value to over 80%
4) Sample data every 15 minutes.
My question is, how can i setup sql server to generate an email and send it
to the operators i create. I know that i can create custom alerts, but will
they read it from the windows event log for the above-mentioned
process..Kinda confused...please helpppp!!
Regards,
AndyHi Vishal,
Thank you for the link, however, my question still is , whether the
procedure, as per my previous mail is something that can be done ? will a
sql alert be able to read the windows application log and send email...if
that is the case then, i can do it the way i initially wanted to.
Thanks,
Andy

I think your intended idea is not difficult to implement. Try this:
create a batch file (c:\spacealert.bat) that looks like:
osql -Sservername -Ppassword -Usa -Q"exec master..xp_sendmail @.recipients =operator, @.subject = 'disk space has exceeded limit'"
In the alert configuration window, on Action tab, click on "Run this
program" and browse to c:\spacealert.bat. This tells the alert when firing,
will trigger the batch file to execute xp_sendmail to email message to the
operators.
