diskover - File system crawler, disk space usage, file search engine and storage analytics powered by Elasticsearch diskover is an open source file system crawler and disk space usage software that uses Elasticsearch to index and manage data across heterogeneous storage systems. Using diskover, you are able to more effectively search and organize files and system administrators are able to manage storage infrastructure, efficiently provision storage, monitor and report on storage use, and effectively make decisions about new infrastructure purchases. As the amount of file data generated by businesses continues to expand, the stress on expensive storage infrastructure, users and system administrators, and IT budgets continues to grow. Using diskover, users can identify old and unused files and give better insights into data change, file duplication and wasted space. diskover supports crawling local file-systems, crawling NFS/SMB, through TCP sockets using the Tree Walk Client or using http with the Storage Agent. Importing Amazon S3 inventory files is also supported. Plugin extensions can be used for adding additional meta data. diskover is written and maintained by the company Shirosaidev and runs on Linux, OS X/macOS and Windows 10 (using windows subsystem for linux) using Python 2 or 3. diskover crawler and workerbots running in terminal [Hidden Content]
