About This Tool

This tool analyzes disk usage on Ubuntu systems by scanning directory trees and presenting a hierarchical view of space consumption. It models usage by directory size, file counts, and age, enabling operators to spot anomalies such as unusually large hidden files.
The core logic uses a safe, read-only traversal and computes per-directory totals, supporting optional depth limits and size filters to focus on relevant areas. It outputs structured data suitable for automation in CSV or JSON formats.
Users include system administrators, developers, and IT staff who need to understand where disk space is consumed and plan cleanups or migrations. Its Ubuntu focus ensures compatibility with common filesystem layouts and packaging conventions, while keeping dependencies minimal.
Distinct advantages include deterministic behavior, clear hierarchical results, and straightforward export for integration with CM tools, monitoring solutions, or reporting.

How to Use

  1. Install the package using apt: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-disk-usage-analyzer.
  2. Run a scan against a target path: sudo ubuntu-disk-usage-analyzer /home --depth 2 --min-size 1048576 --follow-symlinks false.
  3. Review the report on stdout or in the CSV export: /tmp/disk-usage.csv or printed lines.
  4. Export to JSON if your workflow requires automation: --export json --export-path /tmp/disk-usage.json.
  5. Schedule recurring scans with cron or systemd timer if ongoing monitoring is needed.
  6. Use the results to identify large directories and plan cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What problem does this tool solve?
It identifies where disk space is used on Ubuntu systems, surfaces large files and directories, and supports planning cleanup to free space efficiently without modifying data.
What data sources and accuracy are used?
The tool traverses the filesystem, sums file sizes per directory, and deduplicates via inodes for hard links. It reports totals in bytes with optional filters to focus results.
How are permissions handled?
If a directory cannot be read, it is skipped with a note in the output. Running with elevated privileges ensures broader coverage, though still respecting filesystem permissions.
Can I automate reporting?
Yes. Outputs can be exported as CSV or JSON and integrated into scripts, monitoring dashboards, or backup workflows. Scheduled scans support routine maintenance.
