Chapter 9. Monitoring disk use
InfoPrint Manager includes support to help you monitor disk usage. The InfoPrint
Manager server polls critical disks at regularly scheduled intervals, and it increases
the polling as the usage increases. Initially, the disk is polled for usage every 16
minutes.
Here is the polling schedule:
80%
90%
95%
97.5% Every minute
If the usage for a disk goes above the InfoPrint Manager pre-defined threshold of
80%, InfoPrint Manager logs a message and generates a disk-space-low event. As
usage increases above the 80% threshold, more messages and disk-space-low
events are logged and generated.
Each time usages goes above the 80, 90, 95, and 97.5 percent usage levels, the
disk-space-low event is generated and logged. However, InfoPrint Manager only
issues one event for each usage level. Figure 3 illustrates the algorithm used to
monitor disk usage.
Figure 3. Disk usage algorithm
Note: The threshold is reset if the disk usage drops below the previous threshold;
for example, when the disk usage drops to 70% after an 80% disk-space-low event,
it is reset.
