How do I create a Dashboard using mstats metrics with multiple instances?

Hi there,

I've been attempting to create a dashboard with metrics from the itsi_im_metrics index but am struggling with "instances" and the LogicalDisk.%_Free_Space metric.

Using the following search, I can see the "instances" dimension are being used for each logical volume:

 

 

| mcatalog values(_dims) WHERE "index"="*" GROUPBY metric_name index instance
| rename values(_dims) AS dimensions
| table metric_name dimensions index instance

I can get a visualisation for each of the instances with the following and changing the C: to d: or E: respectively:

 

 

| mstats prestats=true avg(LogicalDisk.Free_Megabytes) WHERE (`itsi_entity_type_windows_metrics_indexes`) span=1m AND instance=C:
| timechart span=1m avg(LogicalDisk.Free_Megabytes) as "Megabytes Free"

 

 

...but I can't get all three of them (C:, d: and E:) into the same table like this:

_time C: % free 😧% free E: % free

 

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers 🙂
