processes that trigger this alarm now monitor the /var and /tmp directories, which store application log
files and infocap log files.
Specifically for the /var and /tmp directories, the EX_MISC_SPACE exception is triggered as follows:
•
WARN—85% disk space utilization
•
MINOR—90% disk space utilization
•
MAJOR—95% disk space utilization
Previously, if a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system was allowed to accumulate numerous large log files
in the /var and /tmp directories, then the system was at risk of running critically low on disk space. If
this occurred, then the system stopped answering calls until someone deleted the log files and restarted
the system.
