Server Storage Breakdown

The Storage Breakdown feature helps you understand how disk space is being used on your dedicated Application and Database servers. You can view storage consumption by system components, benches, sites, and database tables to quickly identify what is using the most storage.

View Database Server Storage

1. Open your Server Overview page.
2. Click the Storage Breakdown (Pie) icon for the Database Server.
3. Review the storage distribution by component.
4. Click a Site Name to view storage usage for individual database tables.

Database Storage Components

• Operating System – Storage used by Ubuntu, installed software, and system logs.
• Binary Logs – Database binary logs used for replication, point-in-time recovery, and disaster recovery.
• MariaDB Core – Internal database files such as ibdata1, ibtmp1, Aria logs, and other files required by MariaDB.
• MariaDB Slow Log – Stores slow query logs. Frappe Cloud periodically syncs these logs to Elasticsearch and removes them from the server.
• MariaDB Error Log – Contains database errors and deadlock information. Like slow logs, these are synchronized to Elasticsearch and cleaned up regularly.
• MariaDB System Files – Additional files created by MariaDB during normal operation, such as recovery logs and diagnostic files.

View Application Server Storage

1. Open your Server Overview page.
2. Click the Storage Breakdown (Pie) icon for the Application Server.
3. Review the storage distribution.
4. Expand individual benches to view storage usage in a hierarchical tree structure.

Application Storage Components

• Bench Size – Includes the core files required by the bench, such as application files, logs, public files, and private files.
• Additional Disk Usage – Includes storage consumed by directories that are excluded from the main bench size calculation, including:
  • env – Python virtual environment files.
  • node_modules – Node.js packages and dependencies.
  • assets – Compiled assets, stylesheets, JavaScript bundles, and other static files.

Docker Storage

For Application Servers, the storage breakdown includes only active Docker containers and images. Docker metadata, unused images, and unused layers are excluded to provide a more accurate view of the storage currently in use.
