Vantage — The Storage Observability Platform

Capabilities

Total storage observability,
from a single pane of glass

Every feature maps to a real metric. Every metric drives a decision. Every decision compounds.

👁️

Human-Readable Intelligence

Raw byte counts are for machines. The -h engine automatically converts storage metrics into powers of 1024 — displaying GiB, MiB, and TiB so your team can actually parse what they're seeing.

SI-Standard Reporting

Need metrics that match your vendor invoices? Activate -H to switch to powers-of-1000 SI units. GB, MB, TB — the same numbers your cloud provider uses, finally in your dashboard.

vantage -H

🔬

Filesystem Fingerprinting

Know exactly what you're running on. The -T flag surfaces filesystem type metadata for every mount — ext4, xfs, btrfs, tmpfs, nfs — so you can audit heterogeneous infrastructure in seconds.

Inode Analytics Engine

Disk space isn't the only thing that runs out. With -i, Vantage reports inode usage — total, used, available, and percentage — catching the silent killer before it takes down production.

Total Visibility Mode

Most tools hide pseudo, duplicate, and inaccessible filesystems. Not Vantage. Enable -a to see every single mount point — including the ones your team didn't know existed.

Local-First Isolation

Remote mounts add noise. The -l filter strips out all network filesystems, giving you a clean view of local-only storage. Perfect for compliance audits and bare-metal deployments.

🧮

Grand Total Aggregation

One number to rule them all. The --total flag appends a computed grand total row — total capacity, total used, total available — across every filesystem in scope. Your north star metric, instantly.

vantage --total

Custom Column Builder

Build exactly the report you need. The --output flag lets you select from source, fstype, size, used, avail, pcent, target, and inode columns — a fully composable output schema.

vantage --output=source,size,used,avail,pcent

Architecture

From zero to total observability
in four steps

No agents. No sidecars. No 40-page runbook. Just storage truth.

Scan

Vantage enumerates every currently mounted filesystem in real time. Local volumes, network shares, pseudo mounts — nothing is missed.

Analyze

Each filesystem is queried for size, used space, available space, percentage full, and filesystem type. Inode metrics are gathered in parallel.

Format

Raw data is converted to human-readable units, filtered by your chosen criteria, and structured into your custom column schema — or the industry-standard POSIX output format.

Deliver

Results are rendered to stdout in milliseconds. Pipe it, log it, alert on it. Every byte of output is deterministic, scriptable, and pipeline-ready.

Trusted by storage-obsessed teams

"We were running blind on inode consumption. Vantage's -i flag caught an inode exhaustion event that would have taken down our entire Kubernetes cluster. This is the storage observability tool we've been building internally for three years — except it actually works."

Raj Krishnamurthy VP of Platform Engineering, NovaBuild

"The --output custom column builder alone saved us from building a janky internal tool. We pipe Vantage output directly into our alerting pipeline. It's the single source of truth for storage across 400+ nodes."

Sarah Lindström SRE Lead, CloudForge

"I used to SSH into every server and check storage manually. Vantage's --total gives me one number — total used, total available — across my entire fleet. I literally got promoted because of this tool."

Oscar Holt Infrastructure Lead, DataWeave

"The -T filesystem fingerprinting uncovered three rogue ext2 mounts in production that nobody knew about. In a compliance audit. During SOC 2. Vantage paid for itself in that single scan."

Alicia Torres CTO, ComplianceIQ

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

What filesystems does Vantage support?

Vantage supports every currently mounted filesystem — ext2, ext3, ext4, xfs, btrfs, zfs, nfs, cifs, tmpfs, devtmpfs, overlay, and more. If it's mounted, Vantage sees it. Use the -T flag to identify types, or filter with -t and -x to focus on what matters.

How is Vantage different from just checking disk space manually?

Manual checks give you a snapshot. Vantage gives you a complete, structured, pipeline-ready report across every volume in your infrastructure — with human-readable units, custom column schemas, inode analytics, and grand total aggregation. It's the difference between glancing at a gauge and having a full observability platform.

Can Vantage monitor remote filesystems?

Absolutely. By default, Vantage reports on all mounted filesystems, including NFS, CIFS, and other network mounts. If you need to focus on local storage only, the -l flag filters out everything remote.

What's the difference between -h and -H?

The -h flag uses binary units (powers of 1024: KiB, MiB, GiB), while -H uses SI decimal units (powers of 1000: KB, MB, GB). Use -h for technical accuracy; use -H when you need numbers that match your cloud provider's billing dashboard.

Is my data secure?

Vantage operates entirely within your infrastructure. It reads filesystem metadata only — never your actual files. No data leaves your perimeter. No telemetry. No call-home. Your storage topology stays yours.
