I have two resources, a VM and a VMSS Instance. I'd like to check how much disk space I've used. Please help.

Hi Vincent, any luck to check the consumed disk space of OS Disk?
I finally connect to the VM through ssh and use linux command "df" to check

Hi @Vincent Li ,
memory is not your disk, it's your RAM.
I'm also looking for a possibility to see the VM's disk usage. I'm wondering why such an important information is not shown in Metrics.

Connect to the VM via ssh and use linux command "df" to check

In VM Diagnostics settings, if you enable guest monitoring, you can find the disk space consumption details easilty.

From there, I find the "Memory available, Sum" is around 600 GiB, but I only have 3 disks attached to the VM, each 30GiB
. So what does that mean?
Hi VincentLi,
From my experience the best way to monitor all resources is to enable logging to Azure Monitor.
Once you’ve enabled logging all the health stats you can ever want will be available via kql queries.
Good luck!

I tried the "Virtual Machine free disk space" query and it shows "No results found from the last 24 hours". What does that mean? Why does the free disk space have something to do with time range?
I don't understand why Microsoft makes such basic information so complicated.
