MONITOR DISK USAGE WITH OBJECTIVE C LANGUAGE

Palzin Track Objective c Use Cases

Monitor high disk usage in your Objective-C application

When it comes to developing applications in the realm of Objective-c, 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 Objective-c applications and has a substantial impact on the user experience.

Hence, it's imperative to implement robust disk usage monitoring for Objective-c 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.

Enter Palzin Track, a potent event tracking tool seamlessly integrated with Objective-c. Palzin Track simplifies the process of tracking crucial events in Objective-c applications in real time. 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.

completionHandler:^(NSData \*data, NSURLResponse \*response, NSError \*error) {  


 if (error) {  


 NSLog(@"%@", error);  


 dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);  


 } else {  


 NSHTTPURLResponse \*httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse \*) response;  


 NSError \*parseError = nil;  


 NSDictionary \*responseDictionary = \[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:&parseError\];  


 NSLog(@"%@",responseDictionary);  


 dispatch_semaphore_signal(sema);  


 }  


}\];  


\[dataTask resume\];  


dispatch_semaphore_wait(sema, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER);
