Disk Space Alert on Server

Question/Issue

What should I do if my server reports a low disk space warning?

Cause

The server’s storage volume is nearly full due to accumulated files, logs, or unneeded data.

Resolution

1. Identify which files or directories are consuming the most space.
2. Remove unnecessary files, such as old logs, temporary files, or outdated backups.
3. If possible, move large files to another storage location or archive.
4. Expand the disk volume if additional space is required and supported by your infrastructure.
5. After cleanup or expansion, monitor disk usage to ensure the warning is resolved.
6. Set up alerts to proactively manage disk space in the future.
