Here is a table of the thresholds and a description of the actions taken at each threshold. This behavior is generic across all engines.

ThresholdsDefault RangesActions Taken
CriticalQuota ≥ 95%
  • Disable VDBs and dSources under quota (for a group quota, everything inside gets disabled).
  • Disallow jobs detailed in DB actions table below.
  • Cancel all in-flight jobs listed in DB actions table except for enable.
  • Poll every minute.
Resume95% > Quota ≥ 90%
  • VDBs and dSources disabled by critical quotas will not be automatically re-enabled (DBs can still be manually re-enabled).
  • Resume fault is triggered if quota has fallen from critical threshold and if a DB was disabled from hitting the critical threshold.
  • Warning fault is triggered.
  • Poll every 3 minutes.
Warning90% > Quota ≥ 80%
  • Warning fault is triggered.
  • VDBs and dSources disabled from hitting critical quota will be re-enabled.
  • Poll every 3 minutes.
Safe80% > Quota
  • VDBs and dSources disabled from hitting critical quota will be re-enabled.
  • Poll every 5 minutes.

Both the ranges as well as the poll times can be adjusted by contacting support.

If a DB was disabled prior to reaching the critical quota, it will not be automatically re-enabled when falling to an acceptable range or when the quota is removed.

Disallowed Database Actions when in Quota Critical Threshold

Here is a table of the actions that are not allowed when the quota is in the critical threshold.

  • Refresh target in group.

  • Sync target in group.

  • Link into group.

  • Provision into group.

  • Enable target in group.
  • Refresh target in group.

  • Sync target in group.

  • Enable target in group.

If a critical quota is placed on a target, dSources and VDBs can still provision to groups that are quota below the critical threshold.
