Metrics for storage?

The metrics that are currently available can be monitored outside of the instance (CPU, network, etc) because the hypervisor has access to the information (it controls the resources).

Disk space is determined entirely by the operating system. The only thing that the AWS framework really knows about your disk space is how much of it is allocated & attached to each instance.

Assuming you are using some flavor of Linux, your best bet to monitor disk space is to create a script that periodically checks disk usage and emails you if it goes over a threshold.

Hi,

You are correct, we currently do not offer instance storage metrics for monitoring. I will bring this up with the team to see if we can add this to our road map. Here is a list of the metrics that are available for monitoring:
