Documentation: utils / diskSpaceMonitor

Purpose: Monitor disk space usage of log directory, auto-clean old logs/session data per thresholds.
Lifecycle Role: Runs asynchronously independent of request/response; provides middleware and API endpoints.
Dependencies:
Upstream:
Downstream:
  • admin routes/middleware needing disk space status
  • API handlers for status and cleanup
  • main app initialization
Data Flow:
Inputs:
  • configured log directory path
  • cleanup thresholds and retention policies
  • HTTP requests for status/manual cleanup
  • admin route requests for middleware
Outputs:
  • JSON responses with disk status or cleanup results
Side Effects:
  • reads filesystem stats
  • deletes old log files and session data
  • logs cleanup actions
  • sets timers for periodic monitoring
Performance and Scalability:
Bottlenecks:
  • slow filesystem access or permission errors
  • recursive directory size calc and deletion overhead on large/deep dirs
  • potential race conditions if multiple cleanups overlap
Concurrency: None; no explicit Concurrency control
Security and Stability:
Validation: Deletes based on mod date; config must prevent unintended data loss
Vulnerabilities:
  • risk of deleting critical data if misconfigured
  • needs correct permissions without excessive privileges
  • long async ops may block event loop if unmanaged
  • lacks Concurrency control risking inconsistencies
Architecture Assessment:
Coupling: Low; internal fs dependency, exposed middleware and API
Abstraction: Encapsulates disk space monitoring and cleanup
Recommendations:
  • add Concurrency controls (mutex/flags)
  • optimize size calc with caching or sampling
  • enhance logging for audits
  • expose config via env or external files
  • add alerting/integration for admin notifications
  • validate directory paths to prevent injection
  • limit cleanup scope to safe dirs/file types
  • offload heavy IO to worker threads/processes
