Units Clarification #58

Closed uojiaku closed 7 years ago

uojiaku commented 7 years ago

Can anyone tell what units these metrics are in? For instance the '4356' from root used and the number after it.

[mesocool@blueserver bin]$ sudo ./metrics-disk-usage.rb myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.used 4356 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.avail 25415 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.used_percentage 15 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.boot.used 221 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.boot.avail 1693 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.boot.used_percentage 12 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.tmp.used 3 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.tmp.avail 1849 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.tmp.used_percentage 1 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.used 722 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.avail 2953 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.used_percentage 20 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.log.used 184 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.log.avail 9047 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.log.used_percentage 2 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.log.audit.used 20 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.log.audit.avail 3654 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.var.log.audit.used_percentage 1 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.disks.data304.used 46439 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.disks.data304.avail 4253943 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.disks.data304.used_percentage 2 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.data.starfs1.used 197290 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.data.starfs1.avail 705438 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.data.starfs1.used_percentage 22 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.data.fo.used 103321 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.data.fo.avail 4795028 1490035728 myserver.laptop.disk_usage.root.data.fo.used_percentage 3 1490035728

I wanted to guess that the metrics were in kb but I want to be sure.

GhostLyrics commented 7 years ago

@uojiaku sorry to hear you're frustrated. We're working to have standardized READMEs, with clearer documentation (see: example: sensu-plugins-nvidia, draft:sensu-plugin-doc-draft), but it will take some time.

GhostLyrics commented 7 years ago

The number is the UNIX timestamp of the time the measurement was taken, you can see an example running date +%s in a terminal.

uojiaku commented 7 years ago

Thanks, so what measurement is the number to the left of the timestamp?

GhostLyrics commented 7 years ago

Hold on, you're in the wrong repository. xD

Your output is for disk usage but this is the memory repository. Now I know why I could not find it in the code. Yes, it is Megabytes.

uojiaku commented 7 years ago

Oh sorry about that. But yeah thanks again. I tried to gem install that plugin above "sensu-plugins-nvidia", but I don't have the command 'sensu-install'.
