This would be a fairly simple embedded Groovy datasource. This is a good starting point for calculating directory size:

My recommendation is to define a custom property with the target path and use Groovy to extract that at the script initialization, for example:
def hostname = hostProps.get("system.hostname");
def filepath = hostProps.get("dirsizecheck.filepath");
You can then use "dirsizecheck.filepath" as your "Applies To" to automatically run this DS for any hosts that have that defined. Not appropriate if you want multiple instances, though -- that would require more thought. Perhaps a comma or semicolon separated list in that property -- still learning the ropes on best practices.
