# Disk Input Plugin

The disk input plugin gathers metrics about disk usage.

Note that `used_percent` is calculated by doing `used / (used + free)`, _not_
`used / total`, which is how the unix `df` command does it. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Df_(Unix) for more details.

### Configuration:

```
# Read metrics about disk usage by mount point
[[inputs.disk]]
  # By default, telegraf gather stats for all mountpoints.
  # Setting mountpoints will restrict the stats to the specified mountpoints.
  # mount_points = ["/"]
```

### Measurements & Fields:

- disk
    - free (integer, bytes)
    - total (integer, bytes)
    - used (integer, bytes)
    - used_percent (float, percent)
    - inodes_free (integer, files)
    - inodes_total (integer, files)
    - inodes_used (integer, files)

### Tags:

- All measurements have the following tags:
    - fstype (filesystem type)
    - path (mount point path)

### Example Output:

```
% ./telegraf -config ~/ws/telegraf.conf -input-filter disk -test
