You need to recommend a disk monitoring solution that meets the business requirements. What should you include in the recommendation?

SQL Server Agent alerts are event-driven notifications triggered by specific error conditions or performance thresholds, not a proactive disk monitoring solution that continuously tracks and reports disk usage metrics.

Dynamic Management Views (DMVs) such as sys.dm_os_volume_stats and sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats allow administrators to query real-time disk usage, I/O performance, and available space directly from T-SQL. These views provide granular, on-demand monitoring data about disk and file-level activity, making them the ideal tool for a disk monitoring solution that needs to report current state and trends without additional tooling.

A maintenance plan is used to automate routine database tasks such as backups, index rebuilds, and integrity checks, and does not provide disk usage monitoring or reporting capabilities.

A SQL Server Audit is designed to track and log security-related events and access activity for compliance purposes, not to monitor disk space consumption or I/O performance.
