What is the maximum total storage space used from which an agent will not store metrics on disk?

The maximum total storage space used from which an agent will not store metrics on disk is at 95%. When storage utilization reaches this threshold, the agent ceases to persist further metrics to disk to prevent overload of the storage system. This design choice is integral in managing resource utilization efficiently and avoids potential performance degradation due to storage systems being filled to capacity.

By stopping the storage of metrics beyond this point, it allows existing metrics to be retained and accessed while ensuring that the system continues to function without interruption. This threshold is a crucial aspect of maintaining the health of the monitoring infrastructure and ensuring that data can still be ingested and processed in real-time without running into storage issues.
