You can find the FileSystemSpaceCheck test by running the ipa-healthcheck --list-sources command and identifying the ipahealthcheck.system.filesystemspace section in the output.

Follow this procedure to run a standalone manual test of available disk space on an Identity Management (IdM) server using the Healthcheck tool.

A successful test displays empty brackets:

[]

As an example, a failed test can display:

{
  "source": "ipahealthcheck.system.filesystemspace",
  "check": "FileSystemSpaceCheck",
  "result": "ERROR",
  "kw": {
    "msg": "/var/lib/dirsrv: free space under threshold: 0 MiB < 1024 MiB",
    "store": "/var/lib/dirsrv",
    "free_space": 0,
    "threshold": 1024
  }
}

This failed test informs you that no space is available in the /var/lib/dirsrv directory.
