Summary
Paul Stovell discusses the common issue of running out of free space on application servers, particularly virtual servers, and introduces a basic health check feature in Octopus 2.0 that runs every 30 minutes to monitor server health. While acknowledging that Octopus is not intended to replace comprehensive server monitoring tools like Nagios, Stovell suggests that the feature can be beneficial for users who do not have existing monitoring solutions in place. The health check provides a summary and allows users to view details for all fixed disks, aiming to aid in maintaining server efficiency.
