What does Zabbix message "Free disk space is less than XX% on volume Shared memory" mean?



I use Zabbix to monitor my environment. The Zabbix server warns me with the following message:



"Free disk space is less than 20% on volume Shared memory"



Can someone explain "volume Shared memory" in this context?




How should I address this issue?


Answer



/dev/shm is a temporary filesystem mounted usually under /run/shm for IPC (inter process communication) which - in my opinion - should not be monitored in your case.
