+DiskSpaceLow
+============
+
+This alert fires when a partition has under 10% free space remaining.
+
+The alert will say which partitions are affected, `df -h` also has the
+information:
+
+```
+$ df -h
+Filesystem                Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
+devtmpfs                  1.6G     0  1.6G   0% /dev

+
+Note all ZFS datasets in the same pool (`local/*` and `data/*` in the example
+above) share the underlying storage.
+
+Debugging steps:
+
+- See the `node_filesystem_avail_bytes` metric for how quickly disk space is
+  being consumed
+- Use `ncdu -x` to work out where the space is going
+- Buy more storage if need be
