Does Dynatrace OneAgent captures disk types i.e. NFS vs EXT2, etc

mrc15816 — Thu, 14 Jul 2022 16:38:47 GMT

Hello, can anyone please share your experience on handling NFS vs EXT2, etc file system alerting.

In our environments we use many file systems and our observation is inodes kind of run out a lot in NFS then other types of file system. We have a dedicated team that supports NFS related tasks and we would like to route the alerts to that team. Current Custom Alerts don't provide us the control to pick and choose the file system for alerting. I am wondering how are you handling these type of issues? Appreciate any suggestions!

Thanks

Raj

Hi Raj,

Dynatrace will see NFS disk if it's actually mounted on the server you're monitoring. Hopefully this helps.

Regards

@bradley_danyo thank you for your recommendation. Will look into the details, we have quite a few mount points to monitor and alert.
