Disk Utilization

The Disk Utilization Monitor displays disk usage levers over time for individual partitions, providing information about peak disk usage for FM logs and FM data. This provides information that can help prevent outages due to disk out-of-space issues. For example, a partition using more than 75 percent of allocated space is generally a warning sign and utilization of over 90 percent of allocated space could justify sending an alert.

The Disk Utilization Monitor display utilization as two bar graphs, one for FM logs and one for FM data, and a time chart. The bar charts show the percentage of disk utilization in the partitions for FM logs and FM data as well as total number of Gigabytes available versus used. The time chart shows utilization as specific intervals for both partition. By clicking on a point in the time chart, you can see the utilization at a specific point in time. In Figure 1: Memory Utilization Monitor, the disk usage at 11:16:01 AM for FM logs is 18.5 percent and the disk usage for FM data is 12%.
