From events of the form:

Filesystem                  Type              Size        Used       Avail      UsePct    MountedOn
/dev/mapper/stuff1          ext4               50G        3.4G         44G          8%    /
/dev/mapper/stuff2          ext4              485M         86M        374M         19%    /boot
/dev/mapper/stuff3          ext4              926G        245M        879G          1%    /home
/dev/mapper/stuff4          ext4              9.9T        4.8T        4.7T         51%    /opt

These need to be accepted into fields and displayed in a chart.

Looks like multikv works too with much less regex knowledge, but the result has each line as a separate table entry:

index=os sourcetype=df host="host11" | multikv fields Filesystem Type Size Used Avail UsePct MountedOn | table _time Filesystem, Type, Size, Used, Avail, UsePct, MountedOn
