Fix Recommendation

Install PEM (or similar tool) and configure a probe to monitor "<postgresql data directory>" and notify appropriate support staff upon storage volume utilization reaching 75 percent.

(The default path for the postgresql data directory is C:\Program Files\edb\as<version>\data, but this will vary according to local circumstances.)

Example steps for creating a probe are below, using the thin client (browser) PEM interface. Refer also to the Supplemental Procedures document, supplied with this STIG.

Open the PEM web console in a browser.
- Log in.
- Click on the agent for the machine to be monitored.
- Select "Management | Probe Configuration".
- Select "Disk Space" and set the check interval as you like.
- Select "Management | Alerting".
- Name the definition "Audit Log Full".
- Select Template "Disk Consumption Percentage".
- Set Frequency, Comparison Operator, and Thresholds (1 minute, >, 74/75/76 for example).
- Enter the Location for the audit log.
- Click Notification tab.
- Click Email all alerts.
- Click Add/Change to save, click "OK" to exit dialog box.
