Requesting Historical Disk Usage in ControlUp

A user asked about the ability to view historical disk usage in ControlUp. To illustrate the need, the current monitoring solution and what would work in ControlUp was provided with screenshots. Sam suggested getting early access to the "sizing recommendations" feature if it isn’t enabled yet. @member was mentioned as the contact for the early access and the user expressed thanks for the learning experience.

Read the entire ‘Requesting Historical Disk Usage in ControlUp’ thread below:

I have been on a mission to figure out how to replace the functionality that we have with our current monitoring solution, and one of the biggest things missing from ControlUp for us is the ability to view historical disk usage. It does a great job of alerting, but the first thing we do when we get the alert is to see if this happened very recently, or if it was a slow climb to filling up. It seems all of the datapoints are being captured, but they simply need to be graphed out so we can see the trend. The obvious place is using the Machine Trends report, but it is missing from there. I upvoted a uservoice request that was already submitted, but I am hoping I can get some more people onboard with this idea. Here is the request. Thanks all! https://controlup.uservoice.com/forums/944536-controlup-uservoice-customer-request-form/suggestions/47463236-logical-disk-historical-usage

Also, for those still unsure of what I am talking about, here is the graph in my current system and what I am proposing for ControlUp

current monitoring solution ^^

and here is what I think would work well in ControlUp

right-click, historical report, then view historical disk usage

would love some votes on this request!

@member it’s not as straight forward as it should be but here is a way to get your information from solve:

@member would be the best person to explain if there is already a feature request to have this data in the machine trends report

oh nice! yeah Ididnt think we had sizing recommendations in there yet

but im happy to give this a look

Please let me know if you don’t have access to it

Not 100% it’s GA yet

But if not, we can give you early access for sure

yeah not there for me right now, so that would be awesome to get that enabled

I’ll let @member follow up on this since he is your SE if I’m not mistaken

awesome yes, thank you!

@member

Today I learned. Thanks Sam
