# Enable cPanel Disk Usage Notifications for your VPS

Your Managed VPS Hosting plan provides you several cPanel disk usage notifications that provide warnings when resources are being exhausted. Three of these notifications are System disk space usage warning, Disk quota usage warning, and Out of memory warning.

You can easily find these settings in WebHost Manager (WHM) using *Tweak Settings*. The following tutorial will review how to find these notifications in your VPS. You will also see a large number of other notifications that you can choose to activate.

*Note that you will need [root access](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/amp/obtain-root-access/) in order to use these directions.*
