Metricbeat - does not collect metrics on network drives in Windows

[Yelliny]

Hi,
After working with Metricbeat for a while I have noticed that it does not collect metrics on network drives (NFS) in Windows (in Linux it does).
It would be great if they were.

Thanks!

hi @Yelliny, what are the exact operating systems you are transferring files between using the NFS protocol?
Also, what is the metricbeat configuration you are testing with at the moment (modules/metricsets etc), it will help us narrow down any issues here.

Hi there! Looks like it wasn't fixed. I also faced this problem.

• Version: 7.6.1
• Operating System: Windows
• Discuss Forum URL (also more details here): https://discuss.elastic.co/t/metricbeat-filesystem-metrics-does-not-include-remote-network-drives/252346
• Steps to Reproduce:
  Attach any(I guess any, like NFS or something else, but I used S3 bucket with TntDrive(https://tntdrive.com/)) network device and run metricbeat > 6.3.0 with the following configuration file:

metricbeat.modules:
- module: system
  enabled: true
  period: 60s
  processes: ['.*']
  filesystem.ignore_types: []
  metricsets:
    - process
    - filesystem # is required
  processors:
    - drop_event.when.regexp.mount_point: '^/(sys|cgroup|proc|dev|etc|host)($|/)'

Metricbeat will only collect the data from local drives, not the remote ones.

This is my understanding. The GoLang program behind the FileSystem is not capturing the NFS/Network Shared drives. I added a Network share and ran the go program, it only lists the c: drive.

`
package main

import (
"fmt"
"os"

gosigar "github.com/elastic/gosigar"

)

const output_format = "%-15s %4s %4s %5s %4s %-15s\n"

func main() {
fslist := gosigar.FileSystemList{}
err := fslist.Get()
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Failed to get list of filesystems: %v", err)
os.Exit(-1)
}

fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, output_format,
	"Filesystem", "Size", "Used", "Avail", "Use%", "Mounted on")

for _, fs := range fslist.List {
	dir_name := fs.DirName

	usage := gosigar.FileSystemUsage{}

	usage.Get(dir_name)

	fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, output_format,
		fs.DevName,
		gosigar.FormatSize(usage.Total),
		gosigar.FormatSize(usage.Used),
		gosigar.FormatSize(usage.Avail),
		gosigar.FormatPercent(usage.UsePercent()),
		dir_name)
}

}

Hi,

Is there any update on fixing this issue? Not able to see network drives on Windows with Metricbeat 7.13.1

Hi!
We just realized that we haven't looked into this issue in a while. We're sorry!

We're labeling this issue as Stale to make it hit our filters and make sure we get back to it as soon as possible. In the meantime, it'd be extremely helpful if you could take a look at it as well and confirm its relevance. A simple comment with a nice emoji will be enough :+1.
