Hi!

It could system.filesystem.freefrom https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/exported-fields-system.html#_filesystem_2 be the metric you are looking for? Is so you will need to install metricbeat and enable the proper metricset to collect this metric.

@ChrsMark

system.filesystem.free from

My ideal module system maybe not compatible with Windows Server OS. i just enable windows module only in metric beat. like this -> [Windows perfmon metricset | Metricbeat Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://Window performance metrics) but i not found example to config monitor % free disk space on windows

Thank you.

May be like this

• object: "LogicalDisk"
  instance: ["C:"]
  counters:
  • name: "% Free Space"
    field: system.filesystem.free.pct
    format: "float"

HI! I don't think this config will work.

I see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-metricset-system-diskio.html metricset is available for Windows. Could you check this out?
