Disk nearly full
A data host that runs out of disk stops writing and then stops answering. Free space first, find the cause after.
Free space
- Remove rotated logs older than a week in
/var/log. - Drop the oldest local dump; a copy is on the backup host.
If the disk fills again
Lower the days of logs kept, then ask whether the dump can move.
Who to tell
Whoever acknowledged the alert; the name is on its line.
Check it worked
Run df -h /var. The alert closes by itself under 90%.
