Why am I getting disk usage alert?

avatar

I created 7 AWS EC2 instances (1 for ambari server and 6 for ambari agents) and installed HDP 2.4 using ambari. Now, when I open the ambari dashboard, it shows me critical alerts related to disk usage. It shows that the hosts have less than 6GB disk size. For example, the first host in the attached image shows "4.56 GB/5.63 (88.1% used)". How can I solve this problem?

Hi @Fish Berh

This explains why the alert is generated. You need to increase the space to stop these alerts.

Hi @Fish Berh

Can you give the output of the command : df -h ?

How can I do it? Each host has 107 GB disk size.

Hi @Fish Berh

You may want to discuss with your system admin how these disks have been created.
