    Node Name: Calculate Temp File Usage
    Node Category: Logistics
    Use Case: Use this node to view statistics about the temporary file usage on a given LAE server
    Tested on Release: 4.1.7
    External Dependencies: None
    Practical Usage Example: An example use of this node has been provided in the prototype examples graph which is released in conjunction with the prototype library. Please see that graph for a executable use case.*
    Node Documentation:

    Functional Description:
    This node calculates the current LAE temporary / scratch space usage on the connected LAE server. It provides 3 outputs: "Total Usage" : Total Size "Total Usage by User" : User / Total Size "Usage Details" : User / Graph / Run / Size / Most Recent File Mod Date in dir** This node pulls the tmp / scratch space location from the server where the node actually executes. In a farm scenario, you will need to setup separate farm connections to each server in order to get a full picture.
    Parameters:
    • UsageDataUnit: Data unit used for the usage total calculations (megabyte, etc)
    • RoundingPrecision: Rounding precision of the usage totals. ex:
      * -2 : 21.14
      * -4 : 21.1432
      * 2 : 21
    Known Limitations: None

    One thing that would be a good addition would be to calculate the total disk space and then also report the sizes as a percentage of the available space. This is because it is sometimes helpful to tell a user they used allocated X% of the disk space. Of course I expect that there is likely to be OS or hardware dependent logic so I don't know what would be required to do this.
