 <Item Name="DiskSpaceStorageLowSpaceWarning" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="15%" /> <Item Name="DiskSpaceStorageLowSpaceCritical" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="5%" /> <Item Name="DiskSpaceDatabaseLowSpaceWarning" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="15%" /> <Item Name="DiskSpaceDatabaseLowSpaceCritical" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="5%" />
