When I view [Metricbeat System] Host overview , all the file paths give the same percentage number. I noticed that

1. system.filesystem.used.pct is set to 0.18 for every single system.filesystem.mount\_point that contains a non 0 value
2. many system.filesystem.used.pct are set to 0 when this is not the true value and it should be greater than 0.

The rest of the dashboard is fine apart from the processes which only display one entry.

Any ideas?

Hi @garin,

Could you share the output of `df -h` for that system? 0.18 would mean 18% in these case.

Hi, Yes, here is df -h today. Sorry for the delay.

df -h  
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on  
udev 5,9G 4,0K 5,9G 1% /dev  
tmpfs 1,2G 1,2M 1,2G 1% /run  
/dev/sda1 469G 95G 351G 22% /  
none 4,0K 0 4,0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup  
none 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock  
none 5,9G 276K 5,9G 1% /run/shm  
none 100M 32K 100M 1% /run/user  
10.0.2.2:/data/simtext-cat 7,2T 1,2T 6,1T 16% /data

system.filesystem.used.pct is now either 0.202 or 0.204 for all entries. Here is the latest screenshot.
