@powersj sorry, I realised this just before you posted. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi,

All fields are still sent and stored:

Let's go through these "fields":

• time - this is the timestmap you cannot ignore this, so this will show up
• device - this is a tag, not a field
• fstype - this is a tag, not a field
• host - this is a tag, not a field
• mode - this is a tag, not a field
• path - this is a tag, not a field
• used - this is a field you requested
• used_percent - this is a field you requested

These are all called out in the plugin readme.
Please read up on the difference between tags and fields.

Also consider using the [[outputs.file]] output to view the line protocol of your data if you want to see it in more detail. It helps to view metrics this way, outside of your output so you can easily see the values that are tags or fields.
