Hello Justin,

By default, the machine agent has been configured to monitor 5 volumes. But this value is configurable.
 
Could you please take a look at the configuration of volumeMonitorConfig section in the $MACHINE_AGENT_HOME/extensions/ServerMonitoring/conf/ServerMonitoring.yml file? It must be looking like:

volumeMonitorConfig:
    # maxNumberVolumes specifies the maximum number of volumes that the
    # machine agent will monitor.
 maxNumberVolumes           : 5

    # whitelistSelectorRegex specifies the regular expression used to whitelist reported volumes
    # by name. A volume with the name matching the regex will always be reported,
    # with respect to maxNumberVolumes
    whitelistSelectorRegex        : ""

This configuration means that the agent will show only 5 volumes by default which you see in your case. You can set a higher value to the maxNumberVolumes parameter and then restart the machine agent to see the configured no. of volumes in your machine.
 
PS: Please note that as mentioned under Volume Metrics section at latest doc 
 
There is no maximum value for maxNumberVolumes parameter in volumeMonitorConfig section in the $MACHINE_AGENT_HOME/extensions/ServerMonitoring/conf/ServerMonitoring.yml file.

You can set any value you want.

I hope this helps  

Cheers,
