- Open your Paglo Inventory application from any page of your Paglo Web account by clicking Inventory on the lefthand navigation box.
- At the assets level of your network Inventory, click Servers to search for the critical server.
- At the servers level of your Inventory, click the critical server to drill for details about that server.
- At the device level of your Inventory, click Storage to see if any drive is out of space.
- At Storage, you can see that the available free space on this disk is quite low.
- If you run a search to find the history of disk space, you'll see the chart is headed downhill. Now you have the information you need to take appropriate action. In this case, order a new disk.
