Hello @37821879

The easiest way it to check the metrics from the Azure portal:

a. You can navigate to the Azure portal, look for the Kubernetes cluster that is affected.

b. In the left panel clicks on Node pools and navigate to the node pool which is reporting high disk utilization.

c. Click on nodes and select the affected node, under the monitoring tab, click on Data Bytes.

d. This will load the metrics chart that will display the average Disk Space utilization on the node.
