Warehouse Disk Usage

Measures storage used for these metrics:

Metric Type of Storage Description
data Database tables/indexes storage used Space consumed by database tables and indexes
WAL Write-ahead log storage, current and backups Space consumed by the current WAL file and retained backup WAL files
backup Full and incremental backup storage Backup files are managed by the system and require no user intervention. Backup storage is space consumed by database backups, both full and incremental. Space consumed is a function of database size, backup frequency, and number of retained backups.
work Temporary workfile storage Space consumed by temporary work files generated during normal query execution

The Actian Data Platform uses cloud provider blob storage, which is virtually unlimited. As a result, there are no alarm thresholds on storage used.

The service check displays storage used by each component in the appropriate units:

storage used: data 151.97GB, WAL 2.02GB, backup 0.00b, work 105.00b

The detail section displays data size in the appropriate units as well as database block count and block size. Space consumed is a product of blocks and block size.

data: 151.97GB blocks: 77810 block_size: 2.00MB
