Can't connect when the disk is full

I've noticed that when the volume is full we're unable to connect using session manager and we have to use SSH instead to get onto the machine. When I clear disk space and re-install session manager it works again. The error we see is:

Plugin with name Standard_Stream is not found. Step name: Standard_Stream

We're using Ubuntu 22.04

Hi @bcuff, thanks for reaching out. SSMCLI plugin running on target instance need disk space to function which is a dependency of Session Manager. This is by design and hence disk full will result into failure for Session Manager.

I often want to use Session Manager to connect to a host in order to figure out why the disk is full. SSH doesn't have this issue.

Any idea why session manager needs the disk in order to handle a new incoming connection?
