How to Set the Disk Usage “warn” Percentage in WHM

April 1, 2023 / cPanel & WHM

The disk usage “warn” percentage is a setting that determines when an account owner will receive a warning notification that their account is approaching its disk usage limit. This is an important setting to configure because it allows account owners to take action before their account exceeds its disk usage limit and potentially causes issues for other users on the server.

To set the disk usage “warn” percentage in WHM, follow the steps:

  1. Log in to your WHM account as the root user.
  2. Go to the “Server Configuration” section and click on “Tweak Settings”.tweak settings
  3. Locate “Notifications” section and select the “Account system disk usage “warn” percentage [?]” option.notification
  4. This option consists of three choices; “Disable this notification”, “82.55% default”, and “___ %”.

  7. After selecting the radio button, click on the “Save” button.save

With the help of these instructions, all accounts on your server will have a disc usage “warn” percentage that will alert their owners when they are about to exceed their disk usage cap. It should be noted that you can also choose a percentage for “Stop emails at,” which will stop sending notification emails once the account reaches that level.
