Monitor High Disk Usage in Your Java Application

High disk usage can be a critical concern for the smooth operation of your Java application. Excessive disk usage can lead to performance degradation, slower response times, and potential application crashes. As a responsible application owner, it is essential to monitor disk usage closely and be notified promptly if it reaches critical levels.

Saashound, a powerful real-time event tracking tool, offers seamless monitoring for high disk usage in your Java application. By integrating Saashound directly into your application or server, you can effortlessly track disk usage in real-time and receive timely alerts when disk space consumption becomes a concern.

Connecting Saashound to Your Java Application

To begin monitoring high disk usage in your Java application using Saashound, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign up for a free Saashound account to start tracking your application’s events.
2. Create your first project from the user-friendly dashboard.
3. Access the settings and securely copy your unique API token.

Java Integration

Integrating Saashound into your Java application is straightforward. Use the following code snippet to start tracking disk usage. Remember to replace API_TOKEN with your actual Saashound API token and update the project name to match your project.

import okhttp3.MediaType;
import okhttp3.OkHttpClient;
import okhttp3.Request;
import okhttp3.RequestBody;
import okhttp3.Response;

public class LogEventSender {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

    MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/json");
    String jsonPayload = "{"project":"my-project","channel":"server-status","event":"High Disk Usage","description":"The disk usage is high ","icon":"🔥","notify":true}";
    RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, jsonPayload);

    String apiUrl = "https://api.saashound.co/log-event";

    Request request = new Request.Builder()
      .url(apiUrl)
      .post(body)
      .addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")

      .addHeader("Authorization", "Bearer API_TOKEN")
      .build();

    try (Response response = client.newCall(request).execute()) {
      if (response.isSuccessful()) {
        System.out.println("Log event sent successfully!");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Failed to send log event. Response code: " + response.code());
      }
    }
  }
}
