diskover-community

Diskover Community Edition is an open source file system indexing and storage analytics platform designed to help organizations understand and manage large volumes of file data. It crawls file systems and indexes metadata using Elasticsearch, enabling fast search, analysis, and organization of files stored across different storage systems. It allows administrators and users to explore file structures, monitor storage usage, and gain insights into how data is distributed across infrastructure. By indexing file metadata from sources such as local file systems, network shares like NFS and SMB, and cloud storage, the tool provides a centralized way to analyze heterogeneous storage environments. Diskover also helps identify outdated or unused files, duplicate data, and inefficient storage usage that can waste resources or increase operational costs. A Python-based indexing engine performs the scanning and indexing tasks.
