Talos system disk usage status

[barnabas-kovacs]

Dear Members,

Can anybody help how to check the usage status of
the system disk of Talos where it stores the docker containers?
I did not found how I can check or monitor free space levels of it.

For monitoring you can use e.g. node-exporter (from Prometheus) like on any other Linux.

In order to inspect usage, you can use talosctl mounts (disk free) or talosctl du (disk usage).

Great Thanks!

The node exporter needs to be installed through Kubernetes
or is there any solution to install on Talos directly?

Many THX!

node-exporter is always installed via Kubernetes
