Webserver Log Directory Size Monitoring

Introduction:

IIS, Apache and Tomcat can write log files. It happens not seldom that a webservice log directory occupies large space or even causes disk filling up.

In the default configuration a warning state occurs once 2.5 GB disk space is used by logs. An error state plus a message is thrown once more than 5 GB is taken. Thresholds and alert behaviour can be overridden as usual.
