Use the data source capacity area to view capacity usage compared to the allocated capacity for all data sources that are registered with IBM Spectrum Discover. The data sources can be a mixture of file systems and object vaults. A graph provides a convenient view of the current capacity of data sources and whether any are close to running out of space. This view also indicates the number of files to move or archive, based on user-defined policies.

Hover over a data source in the graph to view details about the data source. Click a data source to open the Search page and perform a search of the selected data source.

The data source capacity widget displays any files or objects that have the TEMPERATURE tag set to a value of ARCHIVE as Recommended to move. You can create an AUTOTAG policy to look for files and objects, which meet your archive criteria and set the TEMPERATURE tag to a value of ARCHIVE.

Any files that match the criteria of the AUTOTAG policy filter are tagged as ARCHIVE. The filter might be age-based or more complex. For example, the filter might match only certain file types, or files over some size threshold.
