Issue/Introduction

With ITMS 8.7.3 Release, the following was introduced:

Package Server Health

Administrators can now see the amount of disk usage and free disk space on each package server within the ITMS console. Previously, this functionality was only available by remotely logging in to each package server to view such information.

Environment

ITMS 8.7.3

Resolution

With our ITMS 8.7.3 release, some new improvements were added regarding our Package Servers Health Status.

1. Overview page of Site Server management changed to include some PS stats about space usage.
   Example
   
   
   
   
2. We show "Disk Usage(GB)" and "Free Space(GB)" information on Site Server Management page.
   Example
   
   
   
   If you click one of your Package Servers on Site Server Management page, then there will be additional information what servicing protocols (Codebases) are enabled on this Package Server and also same "Disk Usage(GB)" and "Free Space(GB)" information.
   
   
   
   
3. On Symantec Management Agent (Altiris Agent), it was added a new alert for low disk space:
   
   "Package Server is experiencing a critical shortage of available disk space"
   
   
   
   
4. A new Automation Policy is available that can be used to be alerted when there is a low disk space on your Package Servers. It can be enabled to receive emails about Package Servers where free space is lower than 10gb.
