Disk-Usage-Notifier

An IFTTT-Webhook for receiving emails automatically if your Disk Usage exceeds 90% in Ubuntu v14 and above.


Basic Dependencies:

  • You must be using Ubuntu or any OS version which is based on Ubuntu v14.04 or above
  • You must have installed python3 or above versions

To make this work, you must:

  1. Download the repo using git clone https://github.com/KudosAbhay/Disk-Usage-Notifier.git
  2. Edit Lines 4 to 7 in python code to change email address, threshold value and message to be sent as an email.
  3. Now run the code and see the output. If your Disk Usage has exceeded 90% in any of the disks, then you will receive an email.

To keep this running automatically in background:

  1. Type chmod +x Disk-Usage-Notifier.py by going to the repo folder. This will make it executable.
  2. Type crontab -e to open crontab editor.
  3. To Run this program every minute use */1 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /folder/location/Disk-Usage-Notifier.py in crontab
  4. Done!

Your Disk-Usage-Notifier can now send an email automatically at that specified time which you have mentioned in crontab if your Disk Usage exceeds more than the threshold value.
