DRIVERS ARE AT RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF FREE SPACE WARRNING message

  • I am in Windows 2012 R2 and SQL server 2012 environment. 

    Currently there is 166 GB Free space in the drive and the Installed Memory  (RAM) is 70 GB

    Error log is giving me the Warning message below. 

    "The SharePoint Health Analyzer detected a condition requiring your attention. Drives are at risk of running out of free space.
    Available drive space is less than five times the value of physical memory. This is dangerous because it does not provide enough room for a full memory dump with continued operation. It also could cause problems with the Virtual Memory swap file: (SVR-DB-TMA - E:\).
    Examine the failing servers and delete old logs or free space on the drives. For more information about this rule, see "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=142688".

    Should I be concerned about this warning? If so,  I will appreciate any suggestion of actions I need to take.

    Did you read the link provided in the error message?
    It provides two possible solutions, and describes the reasons why you may get this message.

    Specific to my environment, we can safely ignore this warning.
