A kubectl
plugin to see df
for persistent volumes.
☑ kube-apiserver
has api/v1/nodes/
endpoint enabled
☑ Appropriate RBAC. This utility is meant for cluster-admin
like user; specifically, you need a service account with enough RBAC privileges to access api/v1/nodes/
from the kube-apiserver
.
☑ Using a storage provisioner that populates pv metrics in a compatible manner (see what's been tested below)

df-pv emulates Unix style df for persistent volumes w/ ability to filter by namespace
It autoconverts all "sizes" to IEC values (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix and https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/manage-resources-containers/#meaning-of-memory)
It colors the values based on "severity" [red: > 75% (too high); yellow: < 25% (too low); green: >= 25 and <= 75 (OK)]
Usage:
df-pv [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for df-pv
-n, --namespace string if present, the namespace scope for this CLI request (default is all namespaces)
-v, --verbosity string log level; one of [info, debug, trace, warn, error, fatal, panic] (default "info")
df-pv -v trace 2> trace.log
☑ GKE
(kubernetes.io/gce-pd
dynamic provisioner; both with ssd
and standard
)
☑ kubeadm
configured bare-metal cluster (rook ceph block dynamic provisioner using script)
☒ kind
(rancher/local-path-provisioner
dynamic provisioner)
☒ minikube
(gcr.io/k8s-minikube/storage-provisioner
minikube-hostpath dynamic provisioner)
[ ] EKS
[ ] AKS
☒ sort-by flag
☒ exclude namespaces
☒ only show a specific colored result ("red", "yellow", "green")
☑ df
for all Persistent Volumes in the cluster
☑ human readable output as default (using IEC format)
☑ color based on usage [red: > 75% (too high); yellow: < 25% (too low); green: >= 25 and <= 75 (OK)]
☑ print PV name
☑ print volume mount name
Have you ever wondered, "How much free disk space do all my PVs have?" Me too! That's why I built this plugin! I have always just wanted to quick way to see the disk usage of my Persistent Volumes (similar to df
or du
in Unix). It turns out I'm not the only one, there has been many upstream Kubernetes issues open again and again about this, even some KEPs and PRs. I have compiled some of the issues and KEPs that I've seen in the wild here:
"this feature is needed .. !!!!" - @halradaideh
"There was a plan to implement this for 1.7 but we ran out of time."
"PVC should show how much of the available capacity is used vs available"
"Expose storage metrics to end users"
"exposing storage metrics to users"... "Status? Was it done?"
"Volume metrics exposed in /stats/summary not available in /metrics"
something similar to du in metrics
