Manage the System Capacity

The server stores various types of data such as the system database information and the files uploaded by the users. To prevent stops in user operations, constantly monitor the amount of free space on the hard disk drive.

In addition, consider how much space to allocate from the limited space on the hard disk drive for different purposes. If the amount of free space is insufficient, you may need to perform maintenance operations such as deleting and archiving old data more frequently.

Allocate the appropriate amount of storage for your operating environment and manage the data capacity accordingly.

 

Data Types

There are two types of data as follows:

  • Database information

This includes all the information required to manage and monitor the connected devices such as the system settings, configuration settings, and security profiles.

  • User and system-generated data

The device firmware and applications to be stored in the file repository, secure print jobs, templates for reports and dashboards, and various types of logs fall under this category.

Free Space Notification

Configure the free space notification for the data storage capacity and database capacity.

  1. Go to [System] → [Server Settings] → [System Data Management] then configure different settings for sending a notification for the amount of free space in the database and on the hard disk drive.

  1. Go to [System] → [Server Settings] → [Delegation Server Settings] then configure the settings related to the free space notification of the Delegation Server.
