logical_disk collector

The logical_disk collector exposes metrics about logical disks (in contrast to physical disks)


Metric name prefix	`logical_disk`
Classes	`Win32_PerfRawData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk`
Enabled by default?	Yes

Flags

`--collector.logical_disk.volume-whitelist`

If given, a disk needs to match the whitelist regexp in order for the corresponding disk metrics to be reported

`--collector.logical_disk.volume-blacklist`

If given, a disk needs to not match the blacklist regexp in order for the corresponding disk metrics to be reported

Metrics

Name	Description	Type	Labels
`requests_queued`	Number of requests outstanding on the disk at the time the performance data is collected	gauge	`volume`
`read_bytes_total`	Rate at which bytes are transferred from the disk during read operations	counter	`volume`
`reads_total`	Rate of read operations on the disk	counter	`volume`
`write_bytes_total`	Rate at which bytes are transferred to the disk during write operations	counter	`volume`
`writes_total`	Rate of write operations on the disk	counter	`volume`
`read_seconds_total`	Seconds the disk was busy servicing read requests	counter	`volume`
`write_seconds_total`	Seconds the disk was busy servicing write requests	counter	`volume`
`free_bytes`	Unused space of the disk in bytes	gauge	`volume`
`size_bytes`	Total size of the disk in bytes	gauge	`volume`
`idle_seconds_total`	Seconds the disk was idle (not servicing read/write requests)	counter	`volume`
`split_ios_total`	Number of I/Os to the disk split into multiple I/Os	counter	`volume`

Example metric

Query the rate of write operations to a disk

rate(wmi_logical_disk_read_bytes_total{instance="localhost", volume=~"C:"}[2m])

Useful queries

Calculate rate of total IOPS for disk

rate(wmi_logical_disk_reads_total{instance="localhost", volume="C:"}[2m]) + rate(wmi_logical_disk_writes_total{instance="localhost", volume="C:"}[2m])
