Rudder

When /var is full we can't log anything anymore.

I think we need to add a warning message when /var reach 95% of its size.

This should be checked at the webapp start, and logs it as a warning.

I think we could display that warning in the webapp (maybe in the 'administration -> policy server' page)

We should also check that information regularly (every day ? ) and logs it.

To sum up, here are my 3 proposals:

• Log at Rudder start
• display inside the policy server page.
• check every Day/hour/month and log if needed

Dennis what do you think about those ideas ? would that answer to your needs about log ?

You're right, determining the size needed by Rudder is very complicated.
The postgres is what take most part of it.
We need to add a way to estimates its growth, I'll open another ticket about that subject and reference it here

Dennis, I have other questions about what's happenning when /var is full:

• Does the webapp is still reachable ? (naviagte through pages ? I think writing new things or access to reporting are broken)
• Is restarting works ?

Dennis, what do you think about the proposition of Vincent which are:

• Have a warning message when /var reach 95% of its size
• Have these informations on the webapp
• have a check every day and logged
