A method for reporting disk usage in a file system, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving, via a data feed, data fetched from one or more network attached storage (NAS) devices from a plurality of file systems, wherein the data comprises data usage information;
- processing, via a centralized processor, the data from the data feed to identify disk space capacity;
- generating a disk usage report based on the processed data, wherein the disk usage report comprises file system information;
- and
- displaying the disk usage report comprising unused data and total unused disk size on an interactive user interface, via a network connection.
A system for reporting disk usage in a file system, the system comprising:
- a memory that stores disk storage data;
- a input configured to receive data from a datafeed;
- and
- a centralized computer processor, coupled to the memory and input, configured to perform the steps of:
- receiving, via the data feed, data fetched from one or more network attached storage (NAS) devices from a plurality of file systems, wherein the data comprises data usage information;
- processing, via the centralized processor, the data from the data feed to identify disk space capacity;
- generating a disk usage report based on the processed data, wherein the disk usage report comprises file system information;
- and
- displaying the disk usage report comprising unused data and total unused disk size on an interactive user interface, via a network connection.
