Fastvue Reporter now monitors disk space usage separately for both Reporter's data storage location and Elasticsearch's database location.

Disk usage warning/critical thresholds are configurable separately for storage and database, either as percentages of total space or as fixed sizes. This is configured in the Settings.xml file with the following settings:

 <Item Name="DiskSpaceStorageLowSpaceWarning" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="15%" /> <Item Name="DiskSpaceStorageLowSpaceCritical" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="5%" /> <Item Name="DiskSpaceDatabaseLowSpaceWarning" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="15%" /> <Item Name="DiskSpaceDatabaseLowSpaceCritical" Type="System.String, mscorlib" Value="5%" />

Added email notifications for when disk usage threshold limits are reached.
Added cleanup task that automatically runs when either storage or database disk usage thresholds switch to warning or critical.
Added a notification message to site header when database disk space is critically low.

Low disk space warning/critical status changes the database status colour in Settings | Data Storage and Settings | Diagnostics.
Elasticsearch disk status critical now only stops import but continues to allow queries.
Elasticsearch status will be changed to red if the 'critical' disk space threshold is passed.
An email will be sent to the System Notifications email address (specified in Settings | Email) when the disk space status changes.
Legacy data migration process now applies data retention policy to legacy data stores.
Migration status now shows if it is rereading up to its last position for the current store (shows 'Preparing migration for (date) (xx%)').
Elasticsearch statistics are now cleared when the connection is lost so that UI doesn't show stats while disconnected.
