Operational risk explained

Capacity Pressure

Production storage can disappear quietly as logs, database dumps, filestore content, package caches and repository history accumulate.

Warning signs

What customers may notice

Root filesystem consistently above safe operating levels
Database or service restarts begin failing
Logs grow unusually quickly
Old backups and archives remain on production

Business impact

Why the risk matters

PostgreSQL may stop accepting writes
Odoo workers can crash or restart
Certificate renewal can fail
Emergency cleanup risks deleting needed evidence

Common causes

Where the failure can begin

Unlimited logs or journals
Backups retained on the same small volume
Large Git object history
Package and build caches
Restart loops generating repeated logs

DPIO approach

What we verify

Filesystem and inode utilization
Largest directories and files
Deleted files held open by processes
Journal and log retention
Backup location and age
Odoo filestore growth
