You can either schedule the query as is or you can copy the query to a new name and customize it to your requirements. For example, you can generate an alert when available disk space falls below 25 percent instead of 20 percent. You can create a user-defined query based on the predefined query and then select it for your action alert.

Note: Before using the queries with Privileged Group or Default Account in the title, consider adding your own keyed values for the corresponding keyed lists.
