Drive and Filesystem Metrics

This page documents Prometheus metrics related to drives and filesystems across the Yellowbrick system. These metrics provide a unified view of both filesystem usage and drive health, covering information on mounted volumes and Yellowbrick data directories.

Purpose

Disk and drive metrics are critical for maintaining the reliability and performance of the system. They are used to:

  • Monitor disk space consumption across mounted volumes and Yellowbrick-specific data directories
  • Track filesystem capacity and usage as reported by the operating system
  • Detect abnormal growth due to unflushed data, log buildup, or other anomalies

Together, these metrics enable proactive alerting, capacity planning, and detailed monitoring of the storage infrastructure.
