Remote Windows Host logical disk usage ?

[rastislav_danis]

Base screen of Remote Windows Host monitoring extension contains info about Logical disks:

Unfortunately, none of these metrics displays real Logical disk usage in terms of Used of Free MBs or %. This type of data is only contained in extensions metrics named "Free disk memory" and "Free disk memory %". None of these metrics is displayed on base Remote Host page. I cannot fully understand why. One of main reasons of remote windows monitoring is logical disk space checking. Logical disk usage info is misleading, in fact it's write/read/idle time of logical disk instead of free/used space. These metrics should be at least named consistently to metrics produced by oneagent (disk used, disk available).

You make a good point here @rastislav_danis. I'll review the metric names and look to get the metrics:

com.dynatrace.extension.host-observability.disk.logical.free.megabytes
com.dynatrace.extension.host-observability.disk.logical.free.percent

Added to the logical disk Unified Analysis screen.

I'll post back here when the update has been made.

Thanks for updated extension, i can see Disk Available % on main UA screen. Maybe a little nitpicking:
Disk UA screen now contains section named Disk usage which displays Disk available metrics, but Host UA screen contains section with similar name Total logical disk usage, which contains previously mentioned idle/write/read metrics. Screens from actual version (1.3.11)

Maybe these sections should be consistently named on both UA screens, f.e. (Logical) Disk usage and Disk activity.

Thanks again for the feedback. There's a new release (v1.3.12) out today that should make the titles on the UA cards more consistent.
