Check server disk usage for call recordings

Hi, our server is currently our call recordings in .gsm format since it uses less storage space, but we are thinking of changing the format to wav. I wanted to test and see how much storage space will wav format recordings use, so I would like to be able to monitor this once I make the change.

I SSH into the server and used the command: du -h --max-depth=1 /var/spool/asterisk/monitor

This shows me the total disk usage for the call recordings per year, but I was thinking if there is command to check the usage for 2022 starting a specific date (the date when I change from .gsm to wav) to see how much more storage this format is using? Or if someone could give me an idea of how to do this?

I am sorry if this is a basic question as I am new here. Your guidance is appreciated.

Thanks!

You can increase max-depth and/or further be more restrictive on your path.

Thanks @dicko. Increasing the max-depth to 3 allowed me to see the usage per day.
I appreciate it!
