Work-around for the time being: Show disk usage for the last 7 days via SSH login

nano diskusage.sh (note, I have two local disks that need monitoring; the command below adds date and data for both disks in one line)

#!/bin/sh
echo $(date +%F && df -h /dev/sda1 --output=source,fstype,size,used,avail,pcent | tail -n1 && df -h /dev/sdc --output=source,fstype,size,used,avail,pcent | tail -n1)>> /home/USER/Disk.txt

cat Disk.txt

2021-12-08 /dev/sda1 ext4 1,8T 1,1T 694G 61% /dev/sdc ext4 916G 444G 426G 52%
2021-12-09 /dev/sda1 ext4 1,8T 1,1T 694G 61% /dev/sdc ext4 916G 445G 426G 52%

crontab -e add

45 4 * * * sh /home/USER/diskusage.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

nano ~/.bash.rc add

printf "\t\n" 
cat /home/kdj/Disk.txt | tail -7

@necrevistonnezr said in Disk usage in System Info: show history:

Can we show the "history" of disk usage under "System Info"?

Great and useful suggestion.

@necrevistonnezr I moved this to the feature request section. Currently we only have real-time data there, so that would require to either get the data we need into collectd and fetch it from there or keep a record on our own.
