How to calculate disk space on remote server and store values using ssh2 & node.js?

Issue

Currently I'm using SSH2 and node.js to monitor disk space and partitions over remote server. And printing output to console. But the output is in string format so I couldn't store free space / total space value in any variable. Current I'm running df -k command using con.exec in node.js(ssh2) to run command over remote servers using credentials.

1. So How would it would be possible(store disk space in variable).
2. My Final task is to check disk space over remote server and generate alert if it is < 25%.
3. And also for HTML part I'm using AngularJs. So I've to give a button over web page to force check and for generating alert for users.

I've added the output format I'm receiving over console(both) below

Solution

Use df -h | grep sd to select only the row of the HDD's main partition.

After that, in data content of result array (see your picture, first item of array "data":"RESULT") change the sequence of space to one space. For example after Filesystem in your uploaded picture there are 4 spaces, replace them with one space.

In the final string you sill have a result like this: /dev/sda1 609G 202G 376G 35% /

Now, you should split this string whit space char. Resulting in the array: item[0] is Filesystem item[1] is total space item[2] is used space item[3] is available space item[4] is used space in percent form item[5] is mounted on path

Very very important note: I suggest you do not use this methodology, because it is NOT secure (look at your picture).

Anyone can find it by tracing with a firebug!
