I still have this happen, and every time I tell myself right, today I'm going to put in a warning system that'll stop this happening .... and then I clear up a ton of space and move on.

HTTP.sys logging has been a real pain in my ass, every time I deploy a new server I forget to disable it and we do so much traffic it fills the drive completely overnight.

Sounds like you need to automate setting up a new server
Or at least automate the logging process. 5-minute log monitor that compresses old logs, and maybe moves them off the system onto a cloud server once space starts to run out, while also e-mailing the people responsible.
Yep that would help, notifications are built into about 1/2 my platform now ... gradually getting them more robust. :)
That also doesn't quite happen enough to make it a priority!
