doubts on volume_analytics_dir_bytes_used

[pelacables]

Hi all,
recently the colleageus from the storage team started to forward some NetApp metrics from their promethus to ours. Now we have access to a subset of the entire NetApp cabin data (mainly info from the volumen were we have our data).
We have a couple of nice dashboards already available (File System analytics and perfomance) and we'd like to work in a panel where users could add a directory name and see how much disk space it uses. So far, my appraoch was to create a new variable (DirName) and add a query based on the label dir_name from volume_analytics_dir_bytes_used.
This approach does work but I have some questions here:

1.- how many directories (and which ones) are being reported to volume_analytics_dir_bytes_used ? from prometheus I see quite a few but I can't determine which one are there (and why)
2.- the absoulte path is missing, is there a way to , maybe combined tih another query, get the full path for the diretory?

this is a bit what I see:

volume_analytics_dir_bytes_used{cluster="clusterA", datacenter="location", dir_name="packages", index="clusterA_44", instance="nabox-harvest2:12893", job="harvest2", svm="svm_name", uuid="1234", volume="volumnename"} 
volume_analytics_dir_bytes_used{cluster="clusterA", datacenter="location", dir_name=".Trash-35663", index="clusterA_44", instance="nabox-harvest2:12893", job="harvest2", svm="svm_name", uuid="1234", volume="volumnename"} 

thanks

hi @pelacables the number of directories collected is controlled by the template

harvest/conf/rest/9.12.0/volume_analytics.yaml

Line 21 in cf708b5

- MaxDirectoryCount: 100

By default, that template will ask File System Analytics (FSA) for the top 20 volumes by space.used descending. Once those volumes are returned (by default), Harvest will ask FSA for each volume's top 100 directories by used bytes descending.

In regards to the path, it looks like ONTAP only returns the relative path, not the full path.

thanks a lot. Question answered.
