My current production standalone node is running PRTG v8 and it has only 38% of free drive space remaining. I am able to view my files of PRTG and wanted to know is there a procedure to export old files to free up drive space? Could I export them to a SAN or another server to prevent the appliaction from shutting down?
Thanks

hallo,
you could use the data purging limits in PRTG to automatically free up space
see Data Purging Limits at
https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg8/system_website_settings.htm
you can manually delete data from the monitoring database folder
or you can move the folder where PRTG stores its data to another drive that holds more space
