= Local Storage Operator Metrics

[role="_abstract"]
To understand storage utilization and troubleshoot provisioning issues, you can track Local Storage Operator (LSO) operations with available metrics that monitor disk discovery, persistent volume creation, unmatched disks, and orphaned symlinks.

{product-title} provides the following metrics for the LSO:

* `lso_discovery_disk_count`: total number of discovered devices on each node

* `lso_lvset_provisioned_PV_count`: total number of PVs created by `LocalVolumeSet` objects

* `lso_lvset_unmatched_disk_count`: total number of disks that LSO did not select for provisioning because of mismatching criteria

* `lso_lvset_orphaned_symlink_count`: number of devices with PVs that no longer match `LocalVolumeSet` object criteria

* `lso_lv_orphaned_symlink_count`: number of devices with PVs that no longer match `LocalVolume` object criteria

* `lso_lv_provisioned_PV_count`: total number of provisioned PVs for `LocalVolume`

To use metrics, you must enable them first. For more information, see "Enabling Local Storage Operator Metrics".
