CONFIGURING THE QUOTA AGENT
The Internet Exchange Quota Agent allows you to set and enforce disk usage quotas on all the Message Store accounts.
This feature limits the amount of resources allocated to the individual users, preventing them from consuming all of
the available disk space in the local Message Store. To create or add a new user account in the local Message Store,
do the following steps:
Click the Configure Quota Agent button on the left menu frame to display
the "Message Store agent" screen.
- Set the Default Size of User Account. This refers to the default disk quota given to all Message Store
users. Setting a default quota will not affect the disk quota limit of the existing Message Store users. This also
means that you need not set the every time a new user is created.
- Set the Warning Level. The default value for this attribute is 90%. This means that
once the disk space usage alloted to a user's account reaches 90%, a warning message will appear.
- Set the Grace Period. This is given to a user who has exceeded his disk quota, telling him to reduce his
disk usage before this given time is over. The value for the grace period will either be 1 or 2 weeks upon receipt of
notification message.
NOTE: The notification message includes the date and the quota assigned to the
user. The date is determined based on the grace period. If the grace period is set for 2 weeks, the current date will
be adjusted to 2 weeks ahead of time. This will be the grace period for the user to reduce his disk consumption below
the alloted quota. The same applies with the grace period.
- Set the time for the Quota Agent to start traversing and retreiving disk quota and disk consumption of all
Message Store users in the Check Mailbox Quota at field.
- Set scheduling options either Daily or Weekly.
- After specifying values for each parameters, click the Submit button. A confirmation
screen will indicate a successful operation.
