Azure Log Analytics: Disk Space Usage – Part 2

  • [アーティクル]

 

My previous post on this topic is one of the most viewed (according to our blog analytics in the last week).   So I thought it was time to share some extra queries that you many find helpful.

Please see the previous post,

Part 1: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ukhybridcloud/2017/12/08/azure-log-analytics-disk-space-usage/

Part3: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ukhybridcloud/2018/05/18/azure-log-analytics-disk-space-usage-part-3/

The original query I produced was this:

// original capacity query
Perf
| where ObjectName == "LogicalDisk" and CounterName == "% Free Space"
| summarize FreeSpace = min(CounterValue) by Computer, InstanceName
| where strlen(InstanceName) ==2 and InstanceName contains ":"
| where FreeSpace < 50
| sort by FreeSpace asc
| render barchart kind=unstacked

I have now refined it, it’s now a stacked chart (so more than one driver letter is shown per computer)  I’ve also added a Let statement to set the % value (my new line #1).  This now shows in my example 9 servers that have drives below 60% usage (and one server that has two drives below that value).  These servers have a lot of spare space (currently), so you will probably be changing that value to something much smaller?

// New capacity query
let setpctvalue = 60; // enter a % value to check
Perf
| where TimeGenerated > ago(1d)
| where ObjectName == "LogicalDisk" and CounterName == "% Free Space"
| where InstanceName contains ":"
| summarize FreeSpace = min(CounterValue) by Computer, InstanceName
| where FreeSpace < setpctvalue
| render barchart kind = stacked image

If you want you can also restrict this query and add a sort to it by adding these lines just before the final one.  I just wanted the Top 5 disks listed – this is useful if you have many servers and drives below your required threshold.

| top 5 by min_CounterValue
| sort by min_CounterValue desc nulls last image

To add to this capability I wanted to track down some C: drive issues, and also wanted to look over more than a 1 day period.  In this example I selected 7 days, once again to aid readability I added a Let statement for this.

I also added  bin (TimeGenerated) to see the extra days of data, and this also allows a TimeChart to be used.  An extra modification was changing line #7 to look at only C:   - other drive letters are available.

// Chart C: if its under nn% over the past nn days
let setpctValue = 50; // enter a % value to check
let startDate = ago(7d); // enter how many days to look back on
Perf
| where TimeGenerated > startDate
| where ObjectName == "LogicalDisk" and CounterName == "% Free Space"
| where InstanceName contains "C:"
| summarize min(CounterValue) by Computer, InstanceName, bin (TimeGenerated, 1d)
| where min_CounterValue < setpctValue
| sort by min_CounterValue desc nulls last
| render timechart

This showed 4 servers and the data for the past 7days – and I now have this published to my Azure Dashboard.

That’s all for today, there will be a Part 3 where I’ll look at a Trend line and a capacity estimate to see when the drive space will be zero.
