Chapter 3. Checking disk space using IdM Healthcheck
You can monitor the Identity Management server’s free disk space using the Healthcheck tool.
3.1. Disk space healthcheck test Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
The Healthcheck tool includes the FileSystemSpaceCheck
test for checking available disk space. The test checks the following:
- The minimum raw free bytes needed.
- The percentage — the minimum free disk space is hardcoded to 20%.
The test checks the following paths:
Paths checked by the test | Minimal disk space in MB |
---|---|
| 1024 |
| 512 |
| 1024 |
| 512 |
| 512 |
| 512 |
Insufficient free disk space can cause issues with the following:
- Logging
- Execution
- Backups
You can find the FileSystemSpaceCheck
test by running the ipa-healthcheck --list-sources
command and identifying the ipahealthcheck.system.filesystemspace
section in the output.
3.2. Screening disk space using the Healthcheck tool Copy linkLink copied to clipboard!
Follow this procedure to run a standalone manual test of available disk space on an Identity Management (IdM) server using the Healthcheck tool.
Procedure
Enter:
ipa-healthcheck --source=ipahealthcheck.system.filesystemspace
# ipa-healthcheck --source=ipahealthcheck.system.filesystemspace
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow The
--source=ipahealthcheck.meta.services
option ensures that IdM Healthcheck only performs the disk space test.A successful test displays empty brackets:

Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow This failed test informs you that no space is available in the
/var/lib/dirsrv
directory.
NoteRun this test on all IdM servers when trying to discover issues.
