runbooks:coustom_alerts:HostOutOfDiskSpace

====== HostOutOfDiskSpace ======

===== Meaning =====
This alert is triggered when a host node’s disk has **less than 10% free space** on any filesystem (excluding tmpfs, fuse, cifs, nfs) for more than 2 minutes.
It indicates that the host is running low on disk space, which may cause system or application failures.

===== Impact =====
Low disk space can cause:
  * Pod evictions due to inability to write logs or data
  * Application failures
  * Node instability or crashes
  * Kubernetes scheduling failures for pods with persistent volume requirements
  * Increased latency or I/O errors

This alert is **critical**, as disk space exhaustion can immediately impact production workloads.

===== Diagnosis =====
Check disk usage:

<code bash>
df -h
df -i
lsblk
</code>

Check disk space per mountpoint:

<code bash>
du -sh /var/lib/kubelet/*
du -sh /home/*
</code>

Check pods consuming disk:

<code bash>
kubectl get pvc --all-namespaces
kubectl describe pod <POD_NAME> -n <NAMESPACE>
</code>

Check node events:

<code bash>
kubectl get events --sort-by=.lastTimestamp
</code>

===== Possible Causes =====
  * Large log files or temporary files
  * Full persistent volumes
  * Backup jobs or batch jobs filling disks
  * Container images not cleaned up
  * Disk size too small for workload

===== Mitigation =====
  - Clean up unused files, logs, or images
  - Rotate and compress logs
  - Move non-critical data to another storage
  - Evict or reschedule non-critical pods
  - Increase disk capacity if possible

Drain node if needed:

<code bash>
kubectl drain <NODE_NAME> --ignore-daemonsets --delete-emptydir-data
kubectl uncordon <NODE_NAME>
</code>

===== Escalation =====
  * Escalate if disk space remains below 10% for extended periods
  * Page on-call engineer if production services are impacted
  * Treat multiple nodes with low disk space as a cluster-level incident
