title: WindowsDiskAlmostFull
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Meaning
|
||||
|
||||
The volume's free space remains below a configured threshold for 15 minutes.
|
||||
Defaults are 10% for warning and 5% for critical. Both severity levels fire below
|
||||
the critical threshold unless Alertmanager inhibition suppresses the warning.
|
||||
Windows can delay the underlying space counters by 10–15 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
Applications may fail to write data or logs. Low free space can prevent updates,
|
||||
pagefile growth, database operations, and normal operating system behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
## Diagnosis
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use the `volume` label to identify the affected filesystem and inspect
|
||||
`windows:logical_disk_free:ratio` and `windows_logical_disk_free_bytes`.
|
||||
2. Verify current capacity locally; the exporter counters may lag:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
Get-Volume | Select-Object DriveLetter, FileSystemLabel, SizeRemaining, Size
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Identify growing logs, temporary files, backups, database files, and application
|
||||
data. Check retention policies and recent jobs.
|
||||
4. Consult [WindowsDiskFillingUp](../windowsdiskfillingup/) when free space is
|
||||
declining rapidly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Mitigation
|
||||
|
||||
Expand the volume or remove files through the owning application's supported
|
||||
retention and cleanup process. Preserve required data and backups; avoid manually
|
||||
deleting database files or Windows system files. Reduce incoming writes if the
|
||||
volume may fill before capacity is restored. Verify space locally and allow the
|
||||
Windows counters to refresh before expecting the alert to resolve.
