Not all environments require a stringent SLA. I have some servers that don't have a stringent SLA and aren't worth being woken up at night over if their disk is filling up fast.
- luckylion 6y agoOkay, so you wake up with a full disk. What did the spacer accomplish?
- bostonsre 6y agoIt allows me to remove that big file, then I'm able to run sudo since I don't allow root ssh and sudo won't work with a full disk, then I can clear up space on the system, bring it up again, then update log rotate or do whatever to prevent that case from happening again.
- luckylion 6y agoThat sounds a lot more complicated (and time consuming) than just having monitoring in place, realizing the disk is filling up and fixing it before it leads to downtime.
- bostonsre 6y agoMonitoring is in place and usually it is caught in time. Downtime is acceptable in this environment, I don't think its worth being woken up in the middle of the night when it can just be resolved in the morning.
