Monitor an SFS

Each SFS has two tabs that show how it is used: Instances lists the instances mounting it, and Monitoring shows how full it is.

Before you begin

You need an SFS in your project. See Create an SFS.

See which instances use it

1. In Manage Shared File-System, select the SFS’s row.
2. Select the Instances tab.

The tab lists the project’s instances with their Name, Image, Node Status, Mount Status, Mount Path, and Actions. Use it to see which instances mount this SFS, at what path, and to mount or unmount it on an instance. Keep the SFS mounted only on the instances that need access, and unmount it from the rest. See Mount an SFS on an instance.

Track its space

Select the Monitoring tab. Shared File-System Usage charts the space used on the SFS against its total size. Use it to see when an SFS is getting full, before an instance runs out of room to write.

When an SFS is close to its total size, increase it; see Increase the size of an SFS.
