Disk (CAT-MIP-000000131)

Accepted • 2025-09-19 • by nicole

Definition

A Disk is a physical or virtual storage component used by a device to persist data. Disks can be hard drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD), or virtual volumes (e.g., VHDs in cloud environments). Disk information is collected for monitoring storage capacity, performance, health, and lifecycle. Disks may be local (installed on a device) or network- attached, and are critical for system stability and application functionality.

Prompt Examples

  • Alert me when any disk has less than 10% free space.
  • Check disk usage on all servers in the 'Legal' tenant.
  • List all devices with SSDs larger than 512GB.

Agent Execution

When a prompt refers to a "Disk," the AI agent will:

  • Differentiate between physical disks and logical partitions/volumes
  • Monitor for thresholds (e.g., low space, high I/O wait times)
  • Report on total capacity, free space, used percentage, and disk type
  • Retrieve storage information from device telemetry or system APIs
  • Trigger alerts or automated cleanup scripts as needed

Synonyms

  • Drive
  • HDD / SSD (specific types of disks)
  • Storage Device
  • Volume (when partitioned or virtualized)

Relationships
