Hello,

I created graph for disk usage variation:  
Y-axis : average of system.filesystem.used.bytes  
X-axis: Date Histogram  
Split series: system.filesystem.mount\_point

I have a test during an hour, after test the size is decreased  
But I didn't remove any data after test

Is this normal please ?
