I had check the link you provided, but there is no solid number that they provided.</P> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 07:15:22 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Minimum-Free-Disk-Space-for-Splunk-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/443695#M3731 jaracan 2019-08-12T07:15:22Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Minimum-Free-Disk-Space-for-Splunk-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/443696#M3732 <P>Yes, it is mentioned as 5GB</P> <P><A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/Systemrequirements#Recommended_hardware">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/Systemrequirements#Recommended_hardware</A></P> <P><EM>Maintain a minimum of 5GB of free hard disk space on any Splunk Enterprise instance, including forwarders, in addition to the space required for any indexes. See Estimate your storage requirements in Capacity Planning for a procedure on how to estimate the space you need. Failure to maintain this level of free space can degrade performance and cause operating system failure and data loss.</EM></P> Mon, 12 Aug 2019 07:17:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Minimum-Free-Disk-Space-for-Splunk-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/443696#M3732 nareshinsvu 2019-08-12T07:17:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Minimum-Free-Disk-Space-for-Splunk-Universal-Forwarder/m-p/443697#M3733 <P>Hope it helped?
