Determine the cluster node and filesystem filling up

The alert contains:

  • the cluster name/id (the k8s_cluster_name and k8s_cluster_id labels)
  • the cluster node (the instance label)
  • the device (the device label)
  • the filesystem (the mountpoint label)

Solutions

This section provides solutions that should help resolve the issue in most cases.

Increase device size for cluster

You can increase the size of the device used by the cluster node in AWS.

  1. Use the cluster node value (instance label) to find the node and the device (device label) running out of space.
  2. Increase the device size in the AWS EC2 web interface or AWS command line.
