Hello!  
I'm using Elastic deployment with apps: Elasticsearch, Kibana, APM, Fleet, Enterprise Search.  
(All these apps located on one disk).  
So I need to set up an alert of disk space (90%).  
How and where can I do it?

I tried to use: Stack Management \> Rules \> STACK MONITORING \> Disk Usage  
BUT it didn't work

Did you install metricbeat as well? You need metricbeat to collect the data, this alert uses metricbeat data.

I do not use Elastic Cloud, but according to the documentation the Monitoring needs to be enabled on your deployment.

Check this [part of the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-enable-logging-and-monitoring.html#ec-enable-logging-and-monitoring)

Just to be precise, if you're using Elastic Cloud, all those deployment components are not deployed on a single VM nor do they share disk space.

The most important disk disk to monitor is the data node disk space.

As @leandrojmp mentioned first, you need to turn on monitoring and then there are out of the box alerts that you can configure.

I think this [page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-monitoring-setup.html) will give you a nice overview

And [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-monitoring-setup.html#ec_get_notified) is a section in alerting
