IOPS probe (I/O per second)

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there has details of a probe that will report the IOPS for hard disks in, primarily, Ubuntu but other OSs would be great too.

Thanks,

Jeff

You can put any value from any script in your snmpd.conf and represent it as OID. Then read thats oid from Dude.
If you can grab that values from you hardware in you OS - you can monitor it.
Try to google “snmp disk io” or something like that.

Thanks, I have looked and not found anything too useful so far, hence asking the experts.

If anyone else has a probe already created I’d be gateful if it could be detailed here.

Hopefully I will find something on my own if no one is able to help.

Thanks,

Aik

i can give you another no very helpful advice :slight_smile: Try to search cacti.net forums. There is many threads about system values gathering tasks.

I can’t wait! I did it myself :laughing:

On cacti forums i finded graph disk IO, whitch uses OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.13.15
My linux host with net-snmp v5.3.2.2 showed all values under that oid. By searching that oid in google, you can find that link http://www.oidview.com/mibs/2021/UCD-DISKIO-MIB.html
I’m pretty sure that your answer.

Thank you, most helpful :slight_smile:

from searching I did find a few bits on cacti but nothing I was able to use.

Having the OID helped a lot - thanks.

Now I just have to work it all into graphs etc to make use of it all, so don’t be surprised if I ask for more help with those.

Thanks,

Jeff
