Disk Usage Trending Report

Configure N-able N-central Dependencies prior to running any reports.

Generate this report to see how full disk drives are for customer devices, including a list of the top 10 disk drives that are close to being full, over the course of a selected time period.

This report is multi-customer enabled. To select multiple customers, press and hold down the Ctrl key, and then click each customer that you want to select.

The report contains two sections:

  • Top 10
  • Details

Top 10

Only those disk drives active on the end-date of the report will be included in the Top 10 section.
The starting point in time is the start date of the report. The time span is double the reporting period.

This section contains the following:

  • A bar chart showing the disk usage (as a percentage) at the end date.
  • A line chart showing the disk usage trend from the report start date to the report end date as a solid line, and a dotted line to a projected date for the disk to be full. Each line will correspond to the device disk drive in the bar chart.
  • A table showing the top ten most full device disk drives (by percentage), sorted by customer, device name, drive, and drive size.

Details

The Details section contains a table listing the following disk data for all devices (including the top ten) during the reporting period:

  • Total disk size
  • Amount of disk space consumed as of report start date
  • Amount of disk space consumed as of report end date
  • Difference between the amount of disk space consumed between the start and end dates
  • Percentage of disk space used
  • Projected time until the disk is full

How “time until full” is calculated

  1. The amount of data used during the time period is calculated as an average per day.
  2. The average per day is then extrapolated to estimate when the drive will be full.
