Disk I/O Metrics

The disk input plugin, gathers the information about the disk throughput of the running system every certain interval of time and reports them.

The Disk I/O metrics plugin creates metrics that are log-based, such as JSON payload. For Prometheus-based metrics, see the Node Exporter Metrics input plugin.

Configuration Parameters

The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:

Key Description Default
Interval_Sec Polling interval (seconds). 1
Interval_NSec Polling interval (nanosecond). 0
Dev_Name Device name to limit the target. (e.g. sda). If not set, in_disk gathers information from all of disks and partitions. all disks
Threaded Indicates whether to run this input in its own thread. false

Getting Started

In order to get disk usage from your system, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:

Command Line

$ fluent-bit -i disk -o stdout

Configuration File

In your main configuration file append the following Input & Output sections:

{% tabs %} {% tab title="fluent-bit.conf" %}

[INPUT]
    Name          disk
    Tag           disk
    Interval_Sec  1
    Interval_NSec 0
[OUTPUT]
    Name   stdout
    Match  *

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="fluent-bit.yaml" %}

pipeline:
    inputs:
        - name: disk
          tag: disk
          interval_sec: 1
          interval_nsec: 0
    outputs:
        - name: stdout
          match: '*'

{% endtab %} {% endtabs %}

Note: Total interval (sec) = Interval_Sec + (Interval_Nsec / 1000000000).

e.g. 1.5s = 1s + 500000000ns
