MONITOR DISK USAGE WITH GO LANGUAGE

Monitor high disk usage in your Go application

When it comes to developing applications in the realm of Go, managing persistent data is a recurring necessity. This can take various forms, such as handling JSON, CSV, or text files on local disks, uploading files to cloud storage solutions like S3 or Google Cloud Storage, or storing data in databases like MongoDB or MySQL. Irrespective of the method chosen, the utilization of disk storage is a pivotal factor for Go applications and has a substantial impact on the user experience.

Hence, it's imperative to implement robust disk usage monitoring for Go applications, whether they are operating in a local environment or residing in the cloud. The significance of this lies in the fact that exceeding a certain disk usage threshold can lead to application crashes and unavailability, resulting in substantial revenue loss and a compromised user experience.

An exemplary use case for Palzin Track involves real-time tracking of disk usage, coupled with the ability to establish alert rules that promptly notify your team when disk usage surpasses predefined thresholds. This proactive approach ensures continuous performance awareness, enabling immediate corrective action when necessary.
