Important message from SiteVision

Server address: http://www.example.com:80
SiteVision version: 4.2.4
Latest system start: 2042-02-29 13:37:37

Column family disk size growing too large

The column family FILES size is growing larger than the available amount of free space in the data directory.
This might prevent compaction/defragmentation tasks to run correctly. Column family size is 100 GB, available free space in data directory 120 GB. The ratio triggering this message is currently set to 0.8.

The above message indicates that there will soon not be enough free disk space for Cassandra, SiteVision’s database, to perform the necessary maintenance procedures. It can be remedied by freeing up more disk space.
