Hi Could you please help with the below query? Does dynatrace show the disk usage on file level? I can see the FS share but not the actual file breakdown. Thanks&Regards Srinivas ---

At the moment, if you need file level statistics, that would only be available through a OneAgent extension. ---

Hi [@srinivasarao\_as](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/20276) , you will need to create that OneAgent extension yourself. You probably have a very distinct usecase for showing per file disk usage (size). Waht exactly do you need? The size of one specific file? At a given path? The total disk space consumption of specific file types? … kr, Reinhard ---

Hi Reinhard, Thank you. Our requirement is “The total disk space consumption of specific file types?” Thanks&Regards Srinivas ---

Hi [@sangeetha\_mitta](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/20772) , that is indeed a special requirement which is not part of Oneagent out of the box! You will have to look into the [extension framework](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/extend-dynatrace/extensions/oneagent-extensions/oneagent-extensions-hands-on/). kr, Reinhard ---

Another option for you would be to inject metrics using the agent local metric ingest interface. This is a rather straight forward method and could be used e.g. from a cron job.
