What to do if the service reports disk space exhaustion and stops working?

If the service reports disk space exhaustion and stops working, the following steps should be taken:

1. Check the current disk status: using commands like df -h (Linux) or viewing disk properties (Windows) to determine which partition is full.

2. Free up space:

   • Delete unnecessary files, logs, or temporary data.
   • Clear application caches.
   • Move large files to another storage device.

3. Check log rotation settings: ensure that logs are not accumulating uncontrollably.

4. Restart the service: after freeing up space, the service should start normally.

5. Set up monitoring: to receive early warnings about disk space filling up and avoid similar situations in the future.

Example command to clear logs in Linux:

sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=100M

This limits the size of system logs to 100 MB.
