Identify Devices With Full or Nearly Full Disks

Overview

Disk usage gradually increases over time due to applications, cached files, logs, and user data. In many environments, this happens silently until available space drops to a critical level. At that point, even basic operations such as updates or restarts can fail.

Applixure makes disk capacity issues immediately visible across the fleet. Instead of relying on user reports, IT can instantly see which devices are running out of disk space and how severe the situation is.

What Applixure Provides

Applixure continuously monitors system disk capacity and surfaces clear alerts, including:

• Devices with full disks (less than 5,000 MB free space)
• Devices with nearly full disks (below 5% free disk space)
• Fleet-wide counts of affected devices
• Per-device disk capacity details
• Ability to drill into individual devices for investigation
• Search, sort, and export options for remediation planning

This ensures disk-related issues are identified early and handled proactively.

Benefits

• Identify disk capacity issues in under 10 seconds
• Prevent performance degradation and system instability
• Reduce failed updates and application errors
• Minimize user disruption and emergency support requests
• Prioritize cleanup or remediation based on real thresholds
• Maintain healthier devices without unnecessary replacements

Implementation Steps

1. Create an Applixure account
2. Deploy the agent via your existing management tool
3. Data collection begins (2-4 hours)
4. Open Devices in Applixure Analytics
5. Navigate to Warnings and Alerts → Disk Capacity
6. Review devices marked as full or nearly full
7. Drill into individual devices to confirm available disk space and take action
