# Disk Input Plugin
This plugin gathers metrics about disk usage.
> [!NOTE]
> The `used_percent` field is calculated by `used / (used + free)` and _not_
> `used / total` as the unix `df` command does it. See [wikipedia - df][wiki_df]
> for more details.
⭐ Telegraf v0.1.1

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Read metrics about disk usage by mount point
[[inputs.disk]]
## By default stats will be gathered for all mount points.
## Set mount_points will restrict the stats to only the specified mount points.
# mount_points = ["/"]
## Ignore mount points by filesystem type.
ignore_fs = ["tmpfs", "devtmpfs", "devfs", "iso9660", "overlay", "aufs", "squashfs"]
## Ignore mount points by mount options.
## The 'mount' command reports options of all mounts in parathesis.
## Bind mounts can be ignored with the special 'bind' option.
# ignore_mount_opts = []
```
### Docker container
To monitor the Docker engine host from within a container you will need to mount
the host's filesystem into the container and set the `HOST_PROC` environment
variable to the location of the `/proc` filesystem. If desired, you can also
set the `HOST_MOUNT_PREFIX` environment variable to the prefix containing the
`/proc` directory, when present this variable is stripped from the reported
`path` tag.
```shell
docker run -v /:/hostfs:ro -e HOST_MOUNT_PREFIX=/hostfs -e HOST_PROC=/hostfs/proc telegraf
```
## Metrics
- disk
- tags:
- fstype (filesystem type)
- device (device file)
- path (mount point path)
- mode (whether the mount is rw or ro)
- label (devicemapper labels, only if present)
- fields:
- free (integer, bytes)
- total (integer, bytes)
- used (integer, bytes)
- used_percent (float, percent)
- inodes_free (integer, files)
- inodes_total (integer, files)
- inodes_used (integer, files)
- inodes_used_percent (float, percent)
## Troubleshooting
On Linux, the list of disks is taken from the `/proc/self/mounts` file and a
[statfs] call is made on the second column. If any expected filesystems are
missing ensure that the `telegraf` user can read these files:
```shell
$ sudo -u telegraf cat /proc/self/mounts | grep sda2
/dev/sda2 /home ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0
$ sudo -u telegraf stat /home
```
It may be desired to use POSIX ACLs to provide additional access:
```shell
sudo setfacl -R -m u:telegraf:X /var/lib/docker/volumes/
```
