What Do I Do If the Edge Node Space Is Insufficient?

According to the Specifications Requirements, the disk size of an edge node must be 1 GB or greater. If the disk space is insufficient during the running of the edge node, you can expand the disk capacity. If the capacity cannot be expanded, perform the following operations to reduce the storage space occupied by the edge node:

Deleting Container Images That Are No Longer Required

  1. Run the docker images command to view images on the node.
  2. Run the docker rmi $ImageID command to delete images that are no longer required.

Reducing the Size of Dumped Logs

  1. On the IEF console, click the name of the edge node in the Edge Nodes list to enter the details page, and click the Configuration tab.
  2. In the Log Configuration area, click Edit under System Logs and Application Logs to reduce the maximum log size and the number of logs saved.

Reducing the Output of Container Logs

If a large number of logs are generated by containerized applications on the edge node and mounted to the host, the logs may occupy large storage space on the node.

Check whether there are containerized applications that generate a large number of logs. If yes, enter the details page of the containerized application, click the Upgrade tab, and choose Data Storage under Advanced Settings to check whether logs are mounted to the local volume. If yes, delete the corresponding volume, and update the application. If you do not need to persistently store the mounted content, you are advised to use a local volume of the emptyDir type. For details about how to configure data storage for an edge application, see Creating an Edge Application.
