# logical_disk collector
|
|
|
|
The logical_disk collector exposes metrics about logical disks (in contrast to physical disks)
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|---------------------|------------------|
|
|
| Metric name prefix | `logical_disk` |
|
|
| Data source | Performance Data |
|
|
| Counters | `LogicalDisk` |
|
|
| Enabled by default? | Yes |
|
|
|
|
## Flags
|
|
|
|
### `--collector.logical_disk.volume-include`
|
|
|
|
If given, a disk needs to match the include regular expression in order for the corresponding disk metrics to be reported
|
|
|
|
### `--collector.logical_disk.volume-exclude`
|
|
|
|
If given, a disk needs to *not* match the exclude regular expression in order for the corresponding disk metrics to be reported
|
|
|
|
### `--collector.logical_disk.enabled`
|
|
|
|
Comma-separated list of collectors to use. Available collectors: metrics, bitlocker_status. Defaults to metrics, if not specified.
|
|
|
|
## Metrics
|
|
|
|
| Name | Description | Type | Labels |
|
|
|--------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|

|
|
| `windows_logical_disk_size_bytes` | Total size of the disk in bytes | gauge | `volume` |
|
|
| `windows_logical_disk_idle_seconds_total` | Seconds the disk was idle (not servicing read/write requests) | counter | `volume` |
|
|
| `windows_logical_disk_split_ios_total` | Number of I/Os to the disk split into multiple I/Os | counter | `volume` |

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
### Deprecated average queue length metrics
|
|
`Avg. Disk Read Queue Length` and `Avg. Disk Write Queue Length` are averages that Windows computes from two samples.
|
|
windows_exporter reads their raw values, which only grow: the queue length summed over time, in seconds.
|
|
These raw values are the same as the ones of `% Disk Read Time` and `% Disk Write Time`,
|
|
which are exposed as `windows_logical_disk_read_seconds_total` and `windows_logical_disk_write_seconds_total`.
|
|
|
|
`windows_logical_disk_avg_read_requests_queued` and `windows_logical_disk_avg_write_requests_queued` keep exposing
|
|
the raw values as gauges for compatibility. They are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
|
|
Use the rate of the `*_seconds_total` counters for the average queue length instead:
|
|
```
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_read_seconds_total[5m])
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_write_seconds_total[5m])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Size metrics
|
|
The `free_bytes` and `size_bytes` metrics are read from the volume on every scrape. Both are the free and total bytes
|
|
of the whole volume, regardless of NTFS disk quotas of the account running windows_exporter.
|
|
|
|
If the volume can't be queried, they fall back to the `Free Megabytes` and `% Free Space` performance counters,
|
|
which Windows updates only every 10-15 minutes and in whole megabytes. On Windows Server 2016, which lacks
|
|
`GetDiskSpaceInformation`, `size_bytes` also falls back to the performance counter if a disk quota applies to the account.
|
|
|
|
### Volume information
|
|
The `disk` and `type` labels of `windows_logical_disk_info` are cached for up to 10 minutes.
|
|
The other labels and `windows_logical_disk_readonly` are read on every scrape. `windows_logical_disk_readonly` is not
|
|
reported for removable and CD-ROM drives without media.
|
|
|
|
### BitLocker status
|
|
The `bitlocker_status` sub-collector reads the BitLocker status through `fveapi.dll`, the BitLocker API of Windows.
|
|
It works when windows_exporter runs as a service (`LocalSystem`) and as a non-elevated user.
|
|
The API is undocumented, so the status is derived from reverse-engineered flags.
|
|
|
|
The `status` label has one of these values:
|
|
|
|
| Status | Meaning |
|
|
|--------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `on` | The volume is fully encrypted and protection is active |
|
|
| `off` | The volume is not encrypted |
|
|
| `encrypting` | Encryption is in progress or paused |
|
|
| `decrypting` | Decryption is in progress or paused |
|
|
| `suspended` | The volume is fully encrypted, but protection is suspended |
|
|
| `locked` | The volume is locked |
|
|
| `waiting_for_activation` | The volume is encrypted with a clear key, but no key protector exists yet |
|
|
| `unknown` | The status flags do not match a known state |
|
|
| `disabled` | Not reported anymore, always 0. Kept for compatibility |
|
|
|
|
A fully encrypted volume is only reported as `on` if protection is active.
|
|
|
|
### Example metric
|
|
Query the rate of write operations to a disk
|
|
```
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_read_bytes_total{instance="localhost", volume=~"C:"}[2m])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Logical Volume information
|
|
```
|
|
windows_logical_disk_info{disk="0",filesystem="FAT32",serial_number="5C1A2B3D",type="fixed",volume="HarddiskVolume2",volume_name=""} 1
|
|
windows_logical_disk_info{disk="0",filesystem="NTFS",serial_number="BC9D5FA8",type="fixed",volume="HarddiskVolume3",volume_name=""} 1
|
|
windows_logical_disk_info{disk="0",filesystem="NTFS",serial_number="668EEC37",type="fixed",volume="C:",volume_name="Windows"} 1
|
|
windows_logical_disk_info{disk="1",filesystem="NTFS",serial_number="50AE953B",type="fixed",volume="D:",volume_name="Temporary Storage"} 1
|
|
windows_logical_disk_info{disk="1",filesystem="ReFS",serial_number="C69B59AD",type="fixed",volume="G:",volume_name="Volume"} 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Useful queries
|
|
Calculate rate of total IOPS for disk
|
|
```
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_reads_total{instance="localhost", volume="C:"}[2m]) + rate(windows_logical_disk_writes_total{instance="localhost", volume="C:"}[2m])
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Show volume usage (%)
|
|
```
|
|
100.0 - 100 * (windows_logical_disk_free_bytes{instance="localhost", volume="C:"} / windows_logical_disk_size_bytes{instance="localhost", volume="C:"})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Disk Activity
|
|
```promql
|
|
(
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_read_seconds_total[2m])
|
|
+
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_write_seconds_total[2m])
|
|
)
|
|
/
|
|
(
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_read_seconds_total[2m])
|
|
+
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_write_seconds_total[2m])
|
|
+
|
|
rate(windows_logical_disk_idle_seconds_total[2m])
|
|
)
|
|
```
