Question:

Webclient Server Statistics screen shows Data Space Utilization at 90%

Reply

This result is expected and no action is required.

90% utilization is normal for an ER that has been processing data for a while. The data space (database partition disk space) will likely never be more than around 90% utilized because the algorithm in the expiration process makes sure to always keep a buffer of disk space free.

This is not to be confused with the output of a df command which will show that database partition 99% full even on an empty ER. The 99% full partition is also normal. It is simply the InnoDB database storage engine which preallocates the disk space for exclusive use by MySQL.
