Hi,

We have a couple of windows servers and I want to get the information of the windows servers using either c# or Python script. The information I want to get is the disk space (image like the one we see in windows explorer) and the error logs of the services of the server. If any one can give me any leads on this, it would be great. We are looking to develop a script which can give us this information. I want to save the error logs in a text file format and the disk space as a .jpeg image, on the local machine.
Please also let me know which language would be best for this Python scripting or c#.

Thanks,

You would like to display it how? Web page? Application? Windows Forms? WPF?

Hi, Sorry I forgot to mention this, The error log as a text file and the disk space as a .jpeg image saved on local machine.

Hello

how to calculate free disk space?

SystemInformation Class

Reading Event Log Entries

And you can create a Simple Console Application and Install it on the servers or
Create Windows Service and save the logs in a specific folder or path.

[Updated:]
For having a visual chart of disk information, look at this: Disk Size Explorer
Or: An Implementation of System Monitor

Hello Shahin,
Thanks for the reply and the links, can you please let me know how to get an image of the disk space..like the one we see when we click my computer. secondly, I will have to do a remote access of the servers and get this information for their disk space and error logs. Would these links be useful in that? Thanks again for the reply.

Hello,
1. Remoting access to server is another subject and you don't have to code for it. Use Remote Desktop Connection (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/features/remote-desktop-connection)
2. For Image of the disk space please look at the updated answer.
