Monitoring Free Disk Space

Settings in the machine policy let you monitor levels of free disk space on CA DataMinder machines and suspend the CA DataMinder infrastructure when free disk space falls below a critical level. Find these settings in the Infrastructure > Data Management folder.

For each CA DataMinder machine, these policy settings monitor free disk space on the drive hosting the Data folder (this folder, which may be remote, contains configuration data and captured data for the local   CA DataMinder installation).

You can specify disk space warning and error levels, and how often free disk space is checked. If free space falls below the warning level, warnings are written to the Audit logfile. If it then falls below the error level, the CA DataMinder infrastructure is suspended. Note that  the infrastructure restarts automatically when free disk space recovers to the warning level.

Changing levels of free disk space

1. Warning level.  
2. Error level.
3. Free disk space falls below the Warning level.
4. During this period, warnings are added to the logfile.
5. Free disk space falls below the Error level.
6. During this period, the CA DataMinder infrastructure is suspended.
7. Free disk space recovers above the Warning level and the CA DataMinder infrastructure resumes automatically.
