The report provides information on the amount of free space for VM guest OS.
The report analyzes VM guest disks and displays their capacity, the amount of guest disk free space, shows disk space usage trends, and predicts how many days are left for a disk to reach the specified threshold.
- Summary section provides an overview of the analyzed VMs guest disks, displays a list of VMs that will run out of disk resources sooner than other VMs, and contains two charts displaying guest disk partition growth trends.
If a value in the Days to reach 90% and Days to reach 100% columns of the Disks to reach the threshold first is highlighted with red, a disk will reach the specified threshold in less than 180 days (6 months).
- Guest Disk Free Space (GB) section displays a list of all VMs included into the report and their guest disks. The table details disk capacity, the amount of free space, trends for disk space usage growth, daily disk growth, and shows how many days are left until a disk reaches the specified threshold.
- Top 10 partition by Relative space growth chart shows 10 guest disks that used more space over the reporting period in relative terms.
- Top 10 partition by Absolute space growth chart shows 10 guest disks that used more space over the reporting period in absolute terms.

Click a VM in the Virtual machine column of the Guest Disk Free Space (GB) table to drill down to VM guest disk space usage details. |
The VM Guest Disks Space Usage drill-down section comprises a chart and a table that allow you to examine disk space usage in detail.
- The chart visualizes disks space usage for each day of the reporting period.
- The table provides disk space capacity and usage details.
Note that some values in the table may be highlighted with red to emphasize important information.
- Values in the Disk's used space change (%) column are highlighted with red if the disk used space growth within the reporting period exceeds 10%.
- Guest disk free space (GB) values are highlighted with red if the amount of disk free space is less than 5 GB.
- If less than 180 days are left until a disk reaches the specified usage threshold, values in the Days to reach 100% column will be highlighted with red.
Use Case
The report allows you to examine VM guest disk utilization and track disk usage growth. This helps you plan resource allocation and ensure your VMs have enough disk resources for stable operation.
Report Parameters
Scope: defines a virtual infrastructure level and its sub-components to analyze in the report.
Business View object(s): defines Business View groups to analyze in the report. The parameter options are limited to objects of the “Virtual Machine” type.
Interval - Interval Type: defines the time period to analyze in the report.
Disk size more than: defines a minimum capacity threshold for a disk to analyze in the report. If disk capacity is less than the specified value, the report will not analyze this disk.
Free space less than: defines the maximum amount of free space for a disk to analyze in the report. If the amount of free space on a disk is more than the specified value, the report will not analyze this disk.
Sort By: defines how data will be sorted in the report (Relative Growth/Absolute Growth).
Do not show guest disks excluded in Monitor Client*: defines whether guest disks excluded in Veeam One Monitor to analyze in the report.
*You can skip certain VM guest disks from monitoring in Veeam ONE Monitor. To lean more, see Virtual Machine Summary section of the Veeam ONE Monitor User Guide for VMware.
