Disk Space Issues

Post by tsteinhagen »

I am havinf disk space issues, do not understand what is consuming the space. Last week, I discovered our 40GB partition was full, and successfully went through the process to increate that to 100GB. However, today I find that almost all the new space is consumed.

[root@jaxcoreutl21 nagiosna]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/centos-root 96G 91G 269M 100% /
devtmpfs 3.8G 0 3.8G 0% /dev
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 3.9G 412M 3.5G 11% /run
tmpfs 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 976M 240M 670M 27% /boot
tmpfs 781M 0 781M 0% /run/user/0
tmpfs 781M 0 781M 0% /run/user/1000

Please advise as to how to isolate. There is no space left to run an automated system backup.

What is the "Data Lifetime" & "Disk Usage" for your sources as seen from the sources page?

Data lifetime is 24 hours for all sources. I do see a few with a large amount of data (22G, 14G, 13G, 9G) on our busiest infrastructure devices.

Just the 4 you listed is ~60GB

You may simply need more than 100GB of space for your infrastructure.

Is there a limitation on the amount of disk space that the server can utilize?

No, just the size of the drive itself, however, the data is truncated based on the "Data Lifetime" set for each source/view.

Additionally, if you have views created with longer lifetime these can/will take space as well.
