Unfortunately, no.

There is a related [discussion](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/5590#issuecomment-839873994) and an open issue in the [zfs repository](https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/discussions/12080). So far we couldn’t find a way how to get zpool size/alloc/free statistics (seems not possible using procfs, but not sure).

If that is only possible using `zpool list`… then we need to use it i guess @vlvkobal

I just tried to figure out why my ZFS mount points are not included in the Disk Space Usage metric and i can neither create an alert for ZFS Pool Usage / Dataset Usage, EVEN when they are mounted, is that correct?

Is it correct that still is the same issue as opened here in 2017?

Thats honestly a little … surprising, i guess a lot of people use ZFS nowadays that ZFS on Linux works really well…
