An entry (conceptual row) in the
cidsHealthSecMonDataStorageTable.
There will be one row per partition.
This table is here to track the health of the storage on the
IPS sensor. The following partitions will have their status
displayed as part of the data storage table:
system
This is the root file system on the sensor; this file system
should not change too much over time and should not be full.
application-data
This is the main file system where application binaries,
application logs and configuration data is stored. This file
system will change due to logging and configuration changes; if
this file system is full it will present stability problems.
This partition is the most important in the system to monitor.
boot
Kernel/boot data storage partition; this should not change
much other than during an image upgrade.
application-log
This partition has fixed sized files to store IPLOG data.
This will likely run near full capacity without being a
problem.
The most important partition to monitor over time is the
application-data partition; if it runs to capacity problems
will occur as processes will no longer be able to write data to
the file system.
Note: File system setup and utilization will vary per platform
model; there are no perfect rules for monitoring these across
all platforms however you should be able to use trends over
time to indicate if you are going to fill up a file system that
should not run at capacity such as the application-data
partition.
