Disk Space Usage Settings

Disk usage settings restrict the amount of disk space set for various entities (logs, folders, databases, etc.) within a subscription.

To get these settings from Plesk database, send the get packet and receive the response. The returned disk_usage node has no data type, it is nested within the data node (described in plesk_domain.xsd) and has the following structure.

• The httpdocs node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by the /httpdocs directory. Data type: long.
• The httpsdocs node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by the /httpsdocs directory. Data type: long.
• The subdomains node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by subdomains on this subscription. Data type: long.
• The web_users node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) allotted for web users on the subscription. Data type: long.
• The anonftp node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by anonymous FTP. Data type: long.
• The logs node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by logs. Data type: long.
• The dbases node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by databases created. Data type: long. Makes sense for Plesk for UNIX only.
• The mysql_dbases node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by MySQL databases created. Data type: integer. Makes sense for Plesk for Windows only.
• The mssql_dbases node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by MSSQL databases created. Data type: integer. Makes sense for Plesk for Windows only.
• The mailboxes node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) allotted by mailboxes. Data type: long.
• The webapps node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by Tomcat web applications deployed. Data type: long.
• The maillists node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by mailing lists. Data type: long.
• The domaindumps node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by dumps. Data type: long.
• The configs node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by configuration files. Data type: long. Makes sense for Plesk for UNIX only.
• The chroot node is required. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by the /chroot directory. Data type: long. Makes sense for Plesk for UNIX only.

Most of these settings cannot be set up directly. You can set only two of them: mailboxes and maillists. The disk_usage node of the set request packet does not have its own data type and is structured as follows:

• The mailboxes node is optional. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) allotted by mailboxes per subscription. Data type: long.
• The maillists node is optional. Specifies the amount of disk space (in bytes) occupied by mailing lists created per subscription. Data type: long.

The following set request packet sets the limits on the hard disk space for email boxes and mailing lists:

<packet version="1.6.3.0">
<webspace>
<set>
   <filter>
      <id>123</id>
      <id>124</id>
   </filter>
   <values>
      <disk_usage>
          <mailboxes>1073741824</mailboxes>
          <maillists>1048576</maillists>
      </disk_usage>
   </values>
</set>
</webspace>
</packet>

The following get response packet returns the disk usage information for the specified subscription:

<packet version="1.6.3.0">
<webspace>
<get>
   <result>
      <status>ok</status>
      <filter-id>2435</filter-id>
