Hi,

We can exclude filesystems using Disk Options (schemaId → builtin:disk.options).

We can configure custom disk rules at environment level and host group level (schemaId → builtin:anomaly-detection.disk-rules).

And Disk Edge is coming with OneAgent version 1.293+ (schemaId → builtin:infrastructure.disk.edge.anomaly-detectors).

Is this a replacement to custom disk rules? Are they are going to co-exist each other?

Best regards

Hello&nbsp;[@AntonPineiro](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/58682)

As per Dynatrace documentation both features are present and available as of now:

- [Exclude disks and network traffic from host monitoring — Dynatrace Docs](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/observe/infrastructure-monitoring/hosts/configuration/exclude-disks-and-network-traffic)

 ![2024-12-25_08h28_36.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/c/c58bc6951863d0beb8fde9ce5671bbfad447fc62.png)

As per Release notes:

- There is no announcement of a sooner de-activation of highlighted features.
- [OneAgent release notes version 1.303 — Dynatrace Docs](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/whats-new/release-notes/oneagent/sprint-303#diskedge-event-enrichment)

I think there is upcoming disk monitoring enhancement and Dynatrace will introduce new capabilities.

Hoping it adds value.

BR,

Peter

Hi,

To answer myself. After several months both are available. And you can create alerts using both.

I would say both coexist and migration is not mandatory if custom disk rules fit your needs.
