Configuration of DiskUserQuotaTest

This test monitors how each user to a server is utilizing every disk partition on the server, promptly detects a quota violation, and instantly alerts administrators to the violation. This way, administrators can understand:

  • Which disk is being utilized excessively?
  • Which user is using that disk over the prescribed quota?
  • Which limit has been exceeded - warning? or the hard limit?

Based on these findings, administrators can then investigate the reasons for excessive space usage by a particular user and employ measures to resolve the space crunch.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the HOST text box, the host name of the server for which the test is to be configured has to be specified.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the Update button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a "*" beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a "$" or contain a series of "*". A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
