How can I check the usage and remaining space of my cloud hard disk?

To check the usage and remaining space of your cloud hard disk, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your cloud provider's console: Access the management dashboard where your cloud resources are listed.
  2. Navigate to the storage section: Look for the "Storage" or "Cloud Disk" category in the console.
  3. Select the specific hard disk: Find the cloud hard disk you want to inspect from the list of available disks.
  4. View usage details: The console typically displays the total capacity, used space, and remaining space of the selected disk. Some platforms may also provide graphs or charts for better visualization.

Example:
If you're using a cloud provider like Tencent Cloud, you can:

  • Log in to the Tencent Cloud Console.
  • Go to the "CVM" (Cloud Virtual Machine) or "CBS" (Cloud Block Storage) section.
  • Select the specific cloud disk, and the usage details will be shown under its properties.

Tencent Cloud Service Recommendation:
For monitoring cloud disk usage in real-time, Tencent Cloud offers Cloud Monitor (CM), which provides detailed metrics on disk usage, I/O performance, and capacity trends. You can set alerts to notify you when the disk usage exceeds a certain threshold.
