Proactive Server Health: Python Script for Disk Usage Alerts
Ever had a server crash or slow down because the disk quietly filled up?
I just wrote a simple Python script that monitors disk usage and sends an alert to Slack when the usage crosses a threshold (e.g., 80%).
Tech Stack:
- psutil to check disk space
- requests to send Slack notifications
- asyncio for efficient background looping
Why this matters: Early warnings = more uptime
- Lightweight and customizable
- Works in real-time for any Linux server
Perfect for: DevOps engineers
- Sysadmins
- Anyone managing infrastructure
Here’s the GitHub link to the script and README: https://bitl.to/4QZt
