Hi, I have xpack installed I would like to see how much total disk space I have available vs total disk uses for the data nodes. I don't see a total "available" metric?

Thanks

Hi @javadevmtl,

The monitoring section should display `Disk Available` on all nodes, per the [screenshot here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/monitoring-getting-started.html).

Is that what you're looking for?

Thanks,  
Chris

Cool! But that's all node types right? There isn't one for data nodes only?

Ah, gotcha. We don't support that yet, but it's something we want to do.

Sorry about that. That link isn't sharable, but it is on the radar and something we want to do!
