Elastic cluster issue : Not enough disk space for Elastic to function properly

Pulse Pulse Questions
1

Hi,

Recently, upgraded to Pulse6 from Pulse v5.8.1.

Receiving this error: Not enough disk space for Elastic to function properly

Available disk space = 297 GB

While installing, I tried to give 10 GB for Elasticsearch and also set MaximumPulseDiskSpaceGB to 150 GB, even then this error is showing.

Earlier, Pulse was on C drive, because of less disk space, now installed on E drive same location as PA.

Please guide. Thanks.

Hi @gpriyanka ,

What specific version of Pulse 6 did you upgrade it to?

On 6.1, that is more of a warning only. It does that if there is 30% remaining on the disk. The maintenance job of Pulse should still kick-in and will try to help out in the maintenance of the diskspace from within its directory. If the diskspace remaining dips even further, Elasticsearch will be on read-only mode once it hits 15%.

Thanks for bringing this up! We will have a look on this area to check further and target to address it in an upcoming release.

Cheers!

Hi @plim ,

Thanks for your reply.

Upgraded to Pulse v6.1.0 in client’s dev env. Attaching the screenshot

Pulse6.1.0
Pulse6.1.01107×351 50 KB

So, I have some concerns, is it more of the warning then will it be ok to do the upgrade in prod env.,
how can i ensure not to receive this warning,
can there be any possibility to know how much space Elasticsearch will take as per current indices?

Also, this is dev env. which is not actively used, current disk space still remains 297GB , should we raise request for more disk space, if yes, then how much?

Thanks for your guidance Paul.

Regards

Priyanka

Hi @gpriyanka ,

The diskspace of the indices occupied by Elasticsearch is as can be seen from the About / Status page above. As you can see, it is at ~500MB.

As for the warning itself how not to see it, please see above post.

On the diskspace regarding dev environment, that is up to you or the client to decide on. As mentioned above, that is a warning only. Pulse itself will try to do a self-maintenance within its directory wherever possible and manage its size.

Cheers!

Paul
