Would like to have chart of the total disk space vs used for all mounts at the current time for a host for comparison.

Would like to have trend chart of the total disk space vs used for all mounts for a host for comparison.

Any suggestions?

Hi
taking the information about disks from the Splunk_TA_nix you have the following informations:

  • Filesystem
  • Type
  • Size
  • Used
  • Avail
  • UsePct
  • MountedOn

that you can use to do all the comparisons you want.
e.g. the time distribution od UsePct in time so you could trace the UsePct data, something like this:

index=os  sourcetype=df
| multikv 
| timechart span=1h max(UsePct) AS perc By host

fields: size = 15T, mountedon = /stg UsePct =92%, Used=14T, Avail = 1.4T
the requirement is to have

for each mount, Size and Used space side-by-side column chart or any other chart at any given moment and trend, just for visualization.

I am getting it in table part using
| stats latest(Size) as "TotalStorage" by mount,Used | rename Used as UsedStorage

To have a time distribution, try something like this:

 index=os  sourcetype=df host=your_host
 | multikv 
 | bin span=1h _time
 | stats latest(Size) AS "TotalStorage" latest(Used) AS Used latest(UsePct) AS UsePct by Filesystem _time

Ciao.

Do you have total and consumed disk space for all mounts available in Splunk?
What have you tried so far?
