`disk` metrics are specific for each disk on the host, therefore these metrics need to be enabled using `collect_per_instance_filters` to be collected.

#### Collecting property metrics

The vSphere integration can also collect property-based metrics. These are configuration properties, such as if a host is in maintenance mode or a cluster is configured with DRS.

To enable property metrics, configure the following option:
