Unsolved Zabbix gone wild
-
The alert was just set up for the
drive. -
Was the space as reported by the C drive fluctuating?
-
That's the odd thing. When I checked it, it was sitting at 12% I just gave it more storage.

Any kind of backup jobs or Scheduled tasks or anything? What does this server do?
-
That's right in the middle. Seems like it might have been growing and shrinking. That's a fairly common thing to have happen during certain processes.

Unless it's a busy VM, +/- 12% at a time is kinda crazy.

Cache
I could easily see 10/12% of RAM being a cache but 10% of your disk space... depending on the size of the disk, that could still be huge (not to mention slow).

What if it is a cache of logs being compressed or something similar?
-
Or temporary database tables?
-
The plot thickens. This is the 12 hour graph:
You can see when I added space, but it still keeps going up and down. I'm going to restart the zabbix service.
-
@Mike-Davis What kind of server is this?
-
@dafyre It's a remote desktop server. I have one user on it now. I'm going to bounce it in a little bit when they are finished.
-
Users could be doing nearly anything in that case.

Temporary Database Tables... or user causing issues... You can guess which one I'd pick as the problem.
-
@scottalanmiller I would agree, except I don't think anyone was on at 3:00 AM, and there is only one user on now, and that is another Admin.

You can track RD sessions for that in Zabbix. You have to nab them with perf_counter.
-
The thing is, I'm on the server and I can see free space and it's not changing. The Zabbix graph thinks it is though. I'll launch perfmon to see if it's changing faster than I can see it.
-
Perfmon shows it steady with 37% free. So it must be Zabbix.
-
Weird.
