Changes in mount points are not currently detected (you will have to restart netdata to change the name of the disk). To use disk IDs provided by `/dev/disk/by-id`, the `name disks by id` option should be enabled. The `preferred disk ids` simple pattern allows choosing disk IDs to be used in the first place. ### performance metrics @@ -99,28 +99,33 @@ Then edit `netdata.conf` and find the following section.
