Action on log disk full usage

There are several actions that you can take in order to preserve disk usage.

System log files are saved in a dedicated log partition and are automatically rotated in order to preserve disk usage. However, if a log partition becomes full, you might want to shut down the sensor.

To enable this feature, you can add the configuration key in the sensor shell console:

conf.user configure shutdown_when_log_disk_full true

Log emergency shutdown will also raise an alert in the sensor health log.

This feature is not available in the container version.
