Size alerts for server drives
A server drive you have indexed can carry size thresholds like any bucket, with the caveats that come from measuring a filesystem rather than a bucket.
Size & cost alerts arrived for buckets last week. They now work on server drives too, on the Business plan.
The Alerts tab appears on a drive as soon as you turn indexing on for it, because that is what makes the drive measurable — and it disappears again if you turn indexing off, taking that drive's rules with it. A rule left behind would be armed, invisible and permanently silent, so we say so rather than leave one.
Size thresholds only. Cost thresholds are refused on a drive for a reason we would rather state than hide: it is your own storage on your own machine, and we have no price to apply to it.
The email and the tab carry the drive's own caveats — the figure comes from the last walk, symlinks are not followed, and a hard-linked file is counted once per path.
Fixed along the way: a re-walk's new size could take up to a day to reach the alert, because a walk finishing didn't tell the analytics they were stale. Only the very first walk was picked up promptly.
