What This Skill Does
Monitors disk space and inode usage across specified paths, sending alerts when configured thresholds are exceeded. Runs on demand or automatically every 15 minutes via cron.
Automated threshold alerts catch disk issues before they cause failures, removing the need for manual spot checks.
When to use it
- Alert before a production server runs out of disk space
- Track inode exhaustion on high-file-count directories
- Monitor specific mount points after a large data ingestion
- Schedule routine disk checks without manual intervention
- Get notified when a backup partition fills unexpectedly
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
INPUT
User asks: Monitor all mount points and alert at 85%
AGENT
- 1Receives threshold_percent=85 and inode_threshold=85 with no specific paths set
- 2Calls openclaw/exec to run df against all mounted partitions
- 3Parses usage percentages for each mount point and inode counts
- 4Compares results against the 85% threshold
- 5Calls openclaw/notify for any mount points that exceed the threshold
OUTPUT
Status report listing all mount points with usage percentages and alerts sent for any that exceeded 85%
