Hi @priti

There is no really great way to do that today... but what I do is in The Kibana -\> Dev Tools run

```auto
GET /_cat/indices/my-index?v&s=pri.store.size:desc&bytes=b
health status index uuid pri rep docs.count docs.deleted store.size pri.store.size
green open my-index YnYLPTZQQrWSzoA3CHv6wQ 1 1 11079752 0 13106423176 6551572264

```

Then You can figure out the Percentage of Each App In the Index by Using Lens with a Pie Chart

Then Just take Those Percentages multiply the Primary or Total Storage which ever you like...
