Monitor High Disk Usage in Your Ruby Application

High disk usage can be a critical concern for the smooth operation of your Ruby 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 Ruby 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.

    event: 'High Disk Usage',
    description: 'The disk usage is high ',
    icon: '🔥',
    notify: true
  }

  headers = {
    'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
    'Authorization' => 'Bearer API_TOKEN'  # Replace API_TOKEN with your actual API token
  }

  http = Net::HTTP.new(api_url.host, api_url.port)
  http.use_ssl = true

  request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(api_url.path, headers)
  request.body = payload.to_json

  response = http.request(request)

  if response.code.to_i >= 200 && response.code.to_i < 300
    puts 'Log event sent successfully!'
