Hi Ruflin,

I have read this explain, but as you known, in Linux, there can be multi types of file system, like local disk, SAN, NAS,... So "The total **disk space** in bytes." This disk means?  
And during the display for bytes, it's not user friendly. But when I want to transfer it to GB, there is number overflow. So usually, how do you show those byte in the Kibana?
