Abstract
A method is used for tracking storage utilization in a storage system. An amount of physical storage space available for use on an appliance is determined. The amount of storage space consumed by each type of data being stored on the appliance is normalized. These normalized amounts are used to determine an amount of storage space on the appliance consumed by the data. When a percentage of storage space consumed on the appliance exceeds a threshold, an alert is generated.
