MONITOR DISK USAGE WITH SWIFT LANGUAGE

Monitor high disk usage in your Swift application

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

Hence, it's imperative to implement robust disk usage monitoring for Swift 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 Swift. Palzin Track simplifies the process of tracking crucial events in Swift 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.

\#endif  


var semaphore = DispatchSemaphore (value: 0)  


let parameters = "{\"project\":\"my-project\",\"channel\":\"status\",\"event\":\"High Disk Usage\",\"description\":\"The disk usage is high.\",\"icon\":\"💾\",\"notify\":true}"  


let postData = parameters.data(using: .utf8)  


var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://api.palzin.live/v1/log")!,timeoutInterval: Double.infinity)  


request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")  


request.addValue("Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")  


request.httpMethod = "POST"  


request.httpBody = postData  


let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in   


 guard let data = data else {  


 print(String(describing: error))  


 semaphore.signal()  


 return  


 }  


 print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)  


 semaphore.signal()  


}  


task.resume()  


semaphore.wait()
