Overview

The customer reports that the /CGNATINPUT partition has a higher utilization and wants to validate if the Disk utilization is proper and if there is a need to do some cleanup.

Information

The /CGNATINPUT partition can have utilization of up to 90% Disk Space.
Usually, there is a Cronjob that does periodic cleanup with an entry such as this:

find /CGNATINPUT/CGNATBKP/collection_netflow/backup -type f mtime +7 -name "*.gz" -exec rm -rf {} \;

In this example, the File cleanup is performed once in 7 days.

Verify if such cron entries exist using crontab -l
Go to the backup directory /CGNATINPUT/CGNATBKP/collection_netflow/backup and validate by running du -sch {7..13} to check if there are bigger files in already processed files
At times it may point to pileup of disk utilization:
Ask the customer to clean up these old files if not needed to clear up Disk space.
