Overview of Disk Usage Reports

The disk usage report provides a statistical summary of the amount of disk space consumed by the site and its users. The report is useful in tracking the usage status and identifying users that are approaching or exceeding the allocated limit. You can use this information to prevent issues caused due to insufficient disk space.

The report displays the following usage information for the site:

• Used Quota (MB). The amount of disk space (in megabytes) consumed by the site, displayed as a percent value.
• Total Usage (MB). The amount of disk space (in megabytes) consumed by the site, displayed as an absolute value.
• Allocated Quota (MB). The amount of disk space (in megabytes) allocated to the site.

When the site reaches or exceeds its usage limits, you receive an email notification informing you about the usage status.

Types of Usage Limits

The usage limits operational on the site are as follows:

• Threshold. The threshold is a percentage value of the allocated quota for the site and is set by your service provider. The current threshold is displayed at the top left corner of the reports page. When the site reaches or exceeds its threshold, an email notification is sent to the Site Administrator.
• Critical Limit. The critical limit is the usage limit reached when the site is 3 MB short of reaching the allocated quota. You cannot change the critical limit. When the site reaches or exceeds its critical limit, you receive an email notification.
• Hard limit. The hard limit is the amount of disk space allocated to the site and is set when your service provider creates the site.

Important: It is important that measures be taken to avoid disk space consumption in excess of the site's allocated quota. Exceeding the allocated quota can result in corruption of the site's database.
