About Check the Disk Space of the Database Volume Responses
Check the disk space of the database volume responses are useful to make sure that
you are warned if your Final Cut Server catalog database is in danger of running out of
disk space.
Important: This only applies to the catalog’s database file and does not apply to the
assets stored on the various devices.
The typical use of this response would be to create a daily schedule that uses this
response to check the amount of free disk space available for the database. The
response writes a value to the log showing the amount of free disk space. If that value is
lower than the warning level you entered in the response, a warning is issued, with the
idea being that you could have a subscription that emails you when this warning occurs.
To access the “Check the disk space of the database volume” response settings:
1 Click the Create button in the Administration window’s Responses pane to create a
new response.
2 Choose “Check the disk space of the database volume” from the Response Action pop-
up menu.
The Check Database Disk Space pane of the Response window contains the
following setting:
 Disk space warning level: Enter a value (in bytes) that defines the minimum threshold
for disk space availability for the Final Cut Server catalog’s database. If you do not
enter a value, a default setting of 500 MB is used (shown as a value of 0). For
example, to set the minimum threshold to 50 MB, enter the value 50000000.
