Hi, I know there is an \_internal DB that stores stats and diagnostics and I’m able to view the \_internal data in Grafana. I just need some guidance on creating queries that will show me the following:

- How much data (size wise, E.g MB, GB) is being written to disk hourly for a specific DB?
- How many data points are being written to a specific DB hourly?

I would like to be able to get this data for a specific RP as well.

Thanks,  
Mo

Hi,

In the end I just tweaked the queries in [this dashboard.](https://grafana.com/dashboards/421)
