Capturing Windows Drive and Linux Filesystem Metrics with Aria Operations

In order to capture Windows Drive and Linux Filesystem metrics, ensure your VM Guest Fileystem Metrics are Activated and have an Activated Instanced State. This tells Operations to calculate these metrics for each instance of the object, think C:\ drive, D:\ drive, etc. And /, /boot, /tmp, etc. for Linux VMs.

Once Activated, you'll notice VM Guest File System metrics for all instances of Windows Drives or Linux Filesystems.

We can now create Dashboards (and Views, Alerts, and Symptoms) using these instanced metrics. Let's create a View detailing each Drives/Filesystems metrics, to be used in a Dashboard. First give it a name and adjust the Settings as you wish.

Then select the instanced metrics you want, here I've chosen Partition Capacity (GB), Partition Utilization (%), and Partition Utilization (GB) and checked the "Add instance breakdown", which tells the View to list these metric values for each instance of them, ie /, /boot, /storage, etc.

Steps 3 and 4 aren't applicable here and I've added a Total in step 5, my View now looks like this on its own.

I created a Dashboard using this View and more, here it is.

As you select the VM in the list it'll show you Windows Drive or Linux Filesystem details on the right. If you'd like this Dashboard (and Views) you can download them here. Enjoy!
