In certain cases, the Discovery datastore can grow sufficiently to fill its disk partition. Other partitions, such as /usr or /var, may also run out of space. When this happens, Discovery services are stopped and the UI is not available. |
One way to avoid this is to take advantage of a Discovery log file that tracks disk usage. This file is named "tw_appliance_df.log" and is updated daily. It's basically the output of a 'df' command, and it appends each new day's output at the end. This allows you to see growth over time.
