<modulesummary>A Disk Supervisor Process</modulesummary>
<description>
<p><c>disksup</c> is a process which supervises the available disk
space in the system. It is part of the OS_Mon application, see
<seealso marker="os_mon_app">os_mon(6)</seealso>. Available for Unix
and Windows.</p>
<p>Periodically checks the disks. For each disk or partition which
uses more than a certain amount of the available space, the alarm
<c>{{disk_almost_full, MountedOn}, []}</c> is set.</p>
<taglist>
<tag>On Unix</tag>
<item>
<p>All (locally) mounted disks are checked, including the swap
disk if it is present.</p>
</item>
<tag>On WIN32</tag>
<item>
<p>All logical drives of type "FIXED_DISK" are checked.</p>
</item>
</taglist>
<p>Alarms are reported to the SASL alarm handler, see
<seealso marker="sasl:alarm_handler">alarm_handler(3)</seealso>.
To set an alarm, <c>alarm_handler:set_alarm(Alarm)</c> is called
where <c>Alarm</c> is the alarm specified above.</p>
<p>The alarms are cleared automatically when the alarm cause is no
longer valid.</p>

<title>Configuration</title>
<p>The following configuration parameters can be used to change
the default values for time interval and threshold:</p>
<taglist>
<tag><c>disk_space_check_interval = int()>0</c></tag>
<item>
<p>The time interval, in minutes, for the periodic disk space
check. The default is 30 minutes.</p>
</item>
<tag><c>disk_almost_full_threshold = float()</c></tag>
<item>
<p>The threshold, as percentage of total disk space, for how
much disk can be utilized before the <c>disk_almost_full</c>
alarm is set. The default is 0.80 (80%).</p>
</item>
</taglist>
<p>See <seealso marker="kernel:config">config(4)</seealso> for
information about how to change the value of configuration
parameters.</p>

<funcs>
<func>
<name>get_disk_data() -> [DiskData]</name>
<fsummary>Get data for the disks in the system</fsummary>
<type>
<v>DiskData = {Id, KByte, Capacity}</v>
<v> Id = string()</v>
<v> KByte = int()</v>
<v> Capacity = int()</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>Returns the result of the latest disk check. <c>Id</c> is a
string that identifies the disk or partition. <c>KByte</c> is
the total size of the disk or partition in kbytes.
<c>Capacity</c> is the percentage of disk space used.</p>
<p>The function is asynchronous in the sense that it does not
invoke a disk check, but returns the latest available value.</p>
<p>Returns <c>[{"none",0,0}]</c> if <c>disksup</c> is not
available.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>get_check_interval() -> MS</name>
<fsummary>Get time interval, in milliseconds, for the periodic disk space check</fsummary>
<type>
<v>MS = int()</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>Returns the time interval, in milliseconds, for the periodic
disk space check.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>set_check_interval(Minutes) -> ok</name>
<fsummary>Set time interval, in minutes, for the periodic disk space check</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Minutes = int()>=1</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>Changes the time interval, given in minutes, for the periodic
disk space check.</p>
<p>The change will take effect after the next disk space check
and is non-persist. That is, in case of a process restart,
this value is forgotten and the default value will be used.
See <seealso marker="#config">Configuration</seealso> above.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>get_almost_full_threshold() -> Percent</name>
<fsummary>Get threshold, in percent, for disk space utilization</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Percent = int()</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>Returns the threshold, in percent, for disk space utilization.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>set_almost_full_threshold(Float) -> ok</name>
<fsummary>Set threshold, as percentage represented by a float, for disk space utilization</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Float = float(), 0=<Float=<1</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>Changes the threshold, given as a float, for disk space
utilization.</p>
<p>The change will take effect during the next disk space check
and is non-persist. That is, in case of a process restart,
this value is forgotten and the default value will be used.
