Application Disk Space for Confluence is full

[Martin James]

The application disk space for our Confluence site is always full even when we continue to give it more storage. What could be causing this?

Between 2:00am and 3:00am it drops, then drops again between 5:00am and 6:00am.

Sometimes the application disk space improves but overall it decreases.

I understand why the database disk space drops, but I can't quite figure this other problem out.

you can go to both Confluence and Home folder and try this command to find out the top 5 items that took most of your space?

du -sh * | sort -n -r | head -n 5

It might be performing a backup around that time.

Checking the "logs" and "backups" folders might be a good place to start. Both can be found under the Confluence home/data directory.

Hi,

attachments / files are stored in disk & not in the database. I assume the "application disk space" is the space used by the Confluence server installation & the data directory. Correct?
