Free disk space

[mpp-olano]

Is there any reason why free disk checking is disabled in Seq2021.3 and How can it be enabled?

I have 3 instances of Seq within my environment running in containers on a VM which was recently upgraded from 2021.2 to 2021.3. It shows the Free Disk Space on one(see below):

but doesn't show on the other two(see below)

Here the block in my Seq.json file in data/seq
},
"disableFreeDiskSpaceChecking": false
},

Hi @mpp-olano! Thanks for dropping by.

This will happen if the filesystem takes too long to return free disk space information. If your /data volume is mounted to a networked filesystem, for example, free space checking will sometimes require enumerating every file in every directory, which has a severe performance impact.

Does that sound likely to be the cause here? You should find some additional info in Download a full diagnostic report, also on that screen.

Thanks for the response @nblumhardt . The volume is mounted locally not to a network filesystem. There existing the same configuration across all the 3 instances.

Interesting - thanks for the follow-up. I wonder if the local filesystem is slow, or some aspect of its projection through Docker?

If you restart the container, does the message appear again (reasonably) immediately?

We can take a look at internal diagnostics, too, if you're able to send the report through to support@. Thanks!
