3. Back to Alerts Panel and click "Mange alert rules".
4. Click "New alert rule".
5. As a Scope, select Log Analytics Workspace that contains logs related to Free Disk Space.
6. In Condition area, click "Add condition", as signal type choose "Log" and then choose "Custom log search".
7. Copy query below and past into "Search query" area:
let PercentSpace = 10;
Perf
| where ObjectName == "LogicalDisk" and CounterName == "% Free Space"
or ObjectName == "Logical Disk" and CounterName == "% Free Space"
