Supported OS:
Collect metrics related to disk usage and IO.
Follow the instructions below to install and configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the Autodiscovery Integration Templates for guidance on applying these instructions.
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.
