I would like to create a job which sends an email alert when my server disk space goes beyond a specific threshold value.Since my data files are bigger there is very little free space on disk partitions.

Is is possible to write a Query which checks all the disks for the free disk space and give an email alert if the disk space goes below the set threshold value?

As per your question i have bifurcated into two parts.

Is is possible to write a Query which checks all the disks for the free disk space?

As per Pinal Dave Blog Here Through below mention TSQL query you can check your all disk drives space(in MB).

exec master..xp_fixeddrives;
Go

And give an email alert if the disk space goes below the set threshold value?

As per schneider Blog Here Through stored procedure with scheduler job you can get SQL Server Disk Space Monitor Alerts.

Note: - without testing in Test environment . Don't apply directly in Production environment.
