iNodes Sensor

The sensor monitors usage of iNodes on Linux machines

The inode is a data structure in a Unix-style file system that describes a filesystem object such as a file or a directory. Each iNode stores the attributes and disk block location(s) of the object's data.

On many types of file system implementations, the maximum number of inodes is fixed at file system creation, limiting the maximum number of files the file system can hold.
