I did some more checking and found that because of the below details in input.conf file, mount point details where already showing up
File system names were listed in "instance" field

[perfmon://Free Disk Space]
counters = Free Megabytes;% Free Space
disabled = 0
instances = *
interval = 120
object = LogicalDisk
index = _infra_index

Below query showed free space details
index=infra source="Perfmon:Free Disk Space" instance!=_Total counter="% Free Space"| table host,counter,instance,Value | dedup host,counter,instance,Value | eval Free_space=round(Value,2) | Where Free_space < 25 | rename instance as "Disk Drive" Free_space as "Free Space %" | fields - Value,counter

I found these in my input.conf but wasnt sure which actually monitors mount point
[perfmon://Free Disk Space]
counters = Free Megabytes;% Free Space
disabled = 0
instances = *
interval = 120
object = LogicalDisk
index = infra_index

[perfmon://PhysicalDisk]
counters = Avg. Disk Read Queue Length; Avg. Disk Write Queue Length; Avg. Disk sec/Read; Avg. Disk sec/Write; Avg. Disk Bytes/Read; Avg. Disk Bytes/Write
disabled = 0
instances = _Total
interval = 120
object = PhysicalDisk
index = infra_index
