    You can run a KQL to achieve this.

    For example,

    InsightsMetrics
| where Computer in (
"CH1-UBNTVM", //Linux
"DC10.na.contosohotels.com" // Windows
)
| where Namespace == "LogicalDisk"
| where Name == "FreeSpacePercentage"
| extend Disk=tostring(todynamic(Tags)["vm.azm.ms/mountId"])
| summarize arg_max(TimeGenerated, *) by Disk, Computer
| project TimeGenerated, Disk, Computer, Val
| where Val > 90

    enter image description here

    Do you want to enlarge the disk space of your Azure VM?

    I do know you want to enlarge your VM partition.

    All the code, please log in your virtual machine, input in terminal, thanks!

    Just use the code df -iThto check your VM disk space, output just like below:

    Filesystem     Type     Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
udev           devtmpfs   117K   378  116K    1% /dev
tmpfs          tmpfs      123K   721  122K    1% /run
/dev/sda1      ext4       2.3M  297K  2.0M   13% /
tmpfs          tmpfs      123K     1  123K    1% /dev/shm
tmpfs          tmpfs      123K     4  123K    1% /run/lock
tmpfs          tmpfs       25K   120   25K    1% /run/user/1000

    Which partitions mounted at your /root, /etc and /var?

    You can find the result from the display of df -hTi.

    Enlarge or extend or resize your Azure VM follow below:

    First, you need to know which partition mounted at your less disk target direction, e.g: /root;

    Second, you need to enlarge or extend or resize that target partition;

    Third, expand your disks on Azure Linux VM, please refer:

    Expand virtual hard disks on a Linux VM with the Azure CLI(Azure Linux VM Document)

    OVER!
