      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.

                    @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.0_1489677125149_perfmon.png

                                    Even after a reboot, Zabbix is still seeing the same thing. It's not kicking out emails, which is also odd.

                                      What version of Zabbix Server & Agent?

                                      Also, what is the Zabbix key (Configuration -> Hosts -> Host -> Items) it is looking at?

                                        @dafyre It looks like: Triggers 1 vfs.fs.size[C:,pfree]
