Try below: # Install the AzureRM module if not already installed # Install-Module -Name AzureRM # Connect to Azure using your credentials Connect-AzAccount # Set the Azure subscription context Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId "your_subscription_id" # Provide the name of your Azure File Storage account $storageAccountName = "your_storage_account_name" $resourceGroupName = "your_resource_group_name" # Get the storage account $storageAccount = Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $storageAccountName # Get the usage metrics for the storage account $usageMetrics = Get-AzMetric -ResourceId $storageAccount.Id -TimeGrain "PT1H" -MetricName "UsedCapacity" -StartTime (Get-Date).AddHours(-1) -EndTime (Get-Date) | Sort-Object Timestamp -Descending | Select-Object -First 1 # Get the total and free capacity $totalCapacity = $usageMetrics.Maximum $freeCapacity = $usageMetrics.Maximum - $usageMetrics.Average # Calculate the usage percentage $usagePercentage = ($usageMetrics.Average / $usageMetrics.Maximum) * 100 # Output the results Write-Output "Total Capacity: $totalCapacity" Write-Output "Free Capacity: $freeCapacity" Write-Output "Usage Percentage: $usagePercentage%" Thanks

# Connect to Azure Connect-AzAccount # Replace and with your actual resource group and storage account names $resourceGroupName = " " $storageAccountName = " " # Get the storage account $storageAccount = Get-AzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $storageAccountName # Get the total storage capacity $totalCapacity = $storageAccount.PrimaryEndpoints.File + "default" | Get-AzStorageUsage -IncludeStatistics | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "FileCapacity" } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Maximum # Get the used storage capacity $usedCapacity = $storageAccount.PrimaryEndpoints.File + "default" | Get-AzStorageUsage -IncludeStatistics | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "FileCapacity" } | Select-Object -ExpandProperty CurrentValue # Calculate the free capacity and percentage $freeCapacity = $totalCapacity - $usedCapacity $freePercentage = ($freeCapacity / $totalCapacity) * 100 $usedPercentage = 100 - $freePercentage # Output the results Write-Output "Total Storage Capacity: $totalCapacity bytes" Write-Output "Used Storage Capacity: $usedCapacity bytes" Write-Output "Free Storage Capacity: $freeCapacity bytes" Write-Output "Used Storage Percentage: $usedPercentage%" Write-Output "Free Storage Percentage: $freePercentage%" Replace and with your actual resource group and storage account names. The script connects to your Azure account, retrieves the total and used storage capacities for the Azure File Storage, and calculates the free and used percentages. The results are then displayed in the console.

Now I'm getting " Get-AzMetric: Cannot bind parameter TimeGrain. Cannot convert value PT1H to type System.TimeSpan. Error: String PT1H was not recognized as a valid TimeSpan ."

Hi Naimish, I'm getting the output as 0. Do I need to add anything?
