Monitoring Splunk

Perform minimum disk space checks manually

Hello,
is there a possibility to run minimum disk space checks manually? Or, somehow, is there a possibility to disable these checks?

I know, this don't seem to make sense, but there is something going wrong on my system with these checks 🙂

Kind Regards,
JS

Hi,
unfortunately this does not fix my problem. The check seems to return "false" anyway, although there is more than enough disk space left.

I am using ZFS as database file system, so, may that be a problem, let the checks fail all times?

Some notes on mine:
There is a problem with fsstat (for determining disk space left) using zfs. Now searching for a workaround 🙂

I do not have solution for such case. You may need to contact splunk support.

The minimum size that you can specify is 1MB for the disk space. Is this solve your problem? I do not think there is any command to disable the check since this is important check for splunk.
