Overview of disk usage reports

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

The report displays the following usage information for all the sites hosted on the server.

- 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.

Your resellers can view the disk usage information for the sites they create. However, they cannot set the threshold for their sites. When a site reaches or exceeds its usage limits, an email notification is sent to the Site Administrator.

# Types of usage limits

The usage limits operational on a site are as follows:

- Threshold. The threshold is a percentage value of the allocated quota for a site. The default threshold is 80 percent of the allocated quota. The current threshold is displayed at the top left corner of the reports page. You can set the threshold at any time. When a 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 a site is 3 MB short of reaching the allocated quota. You can change the critical limit at any time. When a site reaches or exceeds its critical limit, an email notification is sent to the Site Administrator.

- Hard limit. The hard limit is the amount of disk space allocated to a site. You can set this limit when you create the site.

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