M/Monit how to see current disk space

disk-space-utilizationmonitsystem-monitoring

In the admin interface of M/Monit under Reports -> Analytics I can chose to show Space %.

  1. How can I make the Monit clients submit this info?
  2. Is there a way to display Disk Space percentage on the Status page besides %Cpu and %Mem?

I have found that I can set alerts if disk space is running out (will do that, but would like to have an overview as well).

You can see this information on the Reports -> Analytics page.

Your Monit config needs to have disk checks for the filesystems you require:

check device root with path /
    if SPACE usage > 80% then alert

check device var with path /var
    if SPACE usage > 80% then alert

check device usr with path /usr
    if SPACE usage > 80% then alert

check device tmp with path /tmp
    if SPACE usage > 80% then alert

There's no way to add disk space to the overview graph. It wouldn't make sense from a design or UI perspective.
