Supported OS:
Collect metrics related to disk usage and IO.
Find below instructions to install and configure the check when running the Agent on a host. See the Autodiscovery Integration Templates documentation to learn how to apply those instructions to a containerized environment.
The disk check is included in the Datadog Agent package, so you don’t need to install anything else on your server.
The disk check is enabled by default, and the Agent collects metrics on all local partitions.
If you want to configure the check with custom options, Edit the disk.d/conf.yaml file, in the conf.d/ folder at the root of your Agent’s configuration directory. See the sample disk.d/conf.yaml for all available configuration options.
Run the Agent’s status subcommand and look for disk under the Checks section.
