Hello everyone, a pleasure to be here for questions.

I have a Kubernetes environment mounted on AWS using EKS.

In the Kubernetes cluster, I have several i3 worker nodes. These nodes can make use of a type of volume called **ephemeral**.

In each node, I deploy several Elasticsearch pods. These pods request a portion of the **ephemeral** volume. The **ephemeral** capacity is 1.8 TB and each Elasticsearch pod requests 100GB for its own storage.

All of this is successfully managed by Kubernetes.

The problem arises when through the Kibana interface I access the **Monitoring** section. For each Elasticsearch pod, I can see that the **available disk** section refers to the 1.8 TB **ephemeral** volume instead of the 100GB volume requested.

How could I solve this problem?

The data, in this case, are misleading, because it shows me percentages of available disk that do not correspond to the real ones (for example, I can have a pod of Elasticsearch at 90% used capacity and show me that I have 60% of unused disk).

Thank you very much in advance.

Alfonso
