metric.
Problem Details:
• Inconsistent Results: The calculated percentage values are wildly inconsistent and incorrect:
◦ Sometimes shows: 12.5%
◦ Other times shows: 671309764836%, 5361782579200%, 671314477511%
• Configuration Attempts:
◦ Query A: system.filesystem.usage
with filter host.name = '$host.name' AND state = 'used'
◦ Query B: system.filesystem.usage
(attempting to get total capacity)
◦ Formula: (A / B) * 100
• Specific Errors Encountered:
◦ "key host.name
not found"
◦ "key state
not found"
◦ Results show "NaN%" when trying different filter combinations
• Attempted Solutions:
◦ Tried various metric combinations (system.filesystem.total
, system.filesystem.size
)
◦ Attempted different filter attributes
◦ Tested with and without filters - all produce invalid results
Expected Outcome: A reliable filesystem usage percentage (0-100%) for monitoring node storage utilization.
Request: Please provide guidance on:
1. Correct metric names and attribute filters for filesystem usage calculation
2. Proper query structure for percentage calculation
3. Available attributes for the system.filesystem.usage
metric
Environment: SigNoz deployment monitoring Kubernetes/EKS infrastructure
