Server HDD Monitoring
This task helps you not miss the situation when disk space on the server is running out.
This task type requires PRO plan.
When to use
- When disk space shortage can stop the service, database, or log writing.
- When you want to monitor the filling of important server partitions.
When to choose another type
- If you only need external availability check, choose HTTP, Ping, or Port.
- If you cannot run a server script, this type won't work.

Notification settings
For each notification channel in the task, you can set additional parameters. They only apply to DOWN events.
| Parameter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Allows or disables sending notifications for this channel for this task. |
| Delay for PRO | Delays the first DOWN notification by the selected time (up to 12 hours). Convenient to avoid alerts for short-term failures. |
| Repeat after PRO | Periodically repeats the notification while the task remains in DOWN status (up to 1 hour between repeats). Suitable when it's important not to miss prolonged failures. |
"Delay" and "Repeat" parameters do not affect UP events and recovery notifications.
