Importance of rabbit_disk_monitor

[Vishnu-0809]

Hi,
I was going through the docs about rabbitmq disk alarm disk space alarms , in which it is mentioned that when the available disk space below the configured value, a log message is generated and also the producers are blocked.

I have rabbitmq running in a container and I can see a process called rabbit_disk_monitor which I believe is responsible for disk alarms and above mentioned functionality, but when rabbit_disk_monitor process is killed I dont see it is restarted.
So for any reason if the rabbit_disk_monitor process is killed will the functionalities mentioned in above documentation are not performed or are they carried out by some other processes ?
I am trying to understand the significance of rabbit_disk_monitor and effect on application when it is killed

rabbit_disk_monitor should never be killed in normal operation. What do your logs say as to the reason that it is being killed?
