Host Monitor host. You can change this by modifying the Host Monitor Storage Directory
configuration. To change this configuration on an active system, follow the procedure in
Moving Monitoring Data on an Active Cluster.

The Charts Library tab on the Cloudera Management Service page shows the current disk space consumed and its rate of growth, categorized by the type of data stored. For example, you can compare the space consumed by raw metric data to daily summaries of that data.
