You can go Advanced -> Monitoring Templates -> Filesystem and choose the appropriate template for the server. If Windows (for example), you can add a Data Source with the \Free Megabytes Perfmon counter. That will give you the free space for the volume.

You might also have a look at the transform for the /Perf/FileSystem event (navigate to that class and use the Action icon, bottom=left to see the transform).  This code has varied slightly over the years but you may well find it is that that is deliberately trying to make you a "more helpful" event summary by providing a percentage, rather than raw bytes left.  It is code worth looking at anyway.
Cheers,
Jane
