Free disk space (filesystems) 🔗

Type

Description

running in a container and the host filesystem is mounted in a subdirectory under /. The disk usage metrics emitted will be based at this path.

fsTypes

no

list of strings
The filesystem types to include/exclude. This is an

overridable set If this is not set, the default value is the set of all non-logical/virtual filesystems on the system. On Linux this list is determined by reading the /proc/filesystems file and choosing the filesystems that do not have the nodev modifier.

mountPoints

no

list of strings
The mount paths to include/exclude. This is an

overridable set Note: If you are using the hostFSPath option, do not include the /hostfs/ mount in the filter. If both this and fsTypes are specified, the two filters combine in an AND relationship.

no

bool
Set to true to emit the “mode” dimension, which represents

whether the mount is “rw” or “ro”. (default: false)
