Ask HN: Is it useful to predict disk full?

1 pointtmon3 comments

In server monitoring, is it useful to get notified your disk will be full in 3 days?

yes

Thanks avoidwork. Are you using any tool to do this?

devops isn't my primary role, so 'no'. i do keep track with 'df' and general growth projection such that what i am responsible for rarely runs out of disk space. i usually just have to consider my logrotate settings, and move on.

i've been on projects that did actually run out of disk space in production, and then things crash quickly, and usually comically (from my pov).
