Disk space usage

The following information relates to the monitoring of remaining disk space, as well as the sizes of database tables, journals, and logs. It includes a disk usage visualization for various mount points. The mount points listed beside the bars visually correspond to the Mountpoint column detailed in the Disk Space Usage table, providing key details:

  • File location: Indicates where the files are stored on the disk.

  • Usage progress bar: Displays the percentage of disk usage.

  • Disk space overview: Provides information on used space, free space, and total disk capacity.

The progress bars are color-coded to represent different levels of disk usage:

  • Green bar: Indicates that there is sufficient free space on the disk.

  • Orange bar: Serves as a warning that disk usage is between 70% and 80% capacity.

  • Red bar: Signals a critical warning, indicating that disk usage has exceeded 80% capacity.

Disk space usage

In P4 Cloud, disk space usage will only display the bar for /hxdepots and will always display as File Storage.

For P4 Server versions prior to 2024.1, the mount point is always displayed as "Server Disk". However, in versions 2024.1 and later, the actual mount points are displayed.
