Re: Disk I/O check for Linux
Hi,
the Hobbit mailing list - user-ae9b8668bcde@xymon.invalid - really is the best place for
support questions.
The only I/O measurement built into Hobbit is the data collected from
"vmstat", which gives you an overall measure of the amount of time
spent waiting for disk I/O. This graph is not displayed by default;
you can make them appear on the "trends" page by adding
TRENDS:*,vmstat:vmstat1|vmstat5
to each of the host entries in bb-hosts. That will give you a "CPU
utilisation" graph that includes the I/O wait time, and a "Block I/O"
graph showing the number of blocks read from/written to a disk device.
Regards,
Henrik

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but this is *mostly* on-topic. Is there a way to make the above TRENDS setting for all hosts? I tried looking at hobbitgraph.cfg and hobbitserver.cfg, but could not determine any applicable syntax. PS - I like the added graphs. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. -- -- Jon Dustin - Network Specialist University of Southern Maine Portland, ME XXX-XXX-XXXX

I'm going to drift the thread into yet another tangent ... I'd like to have the vmstat graph for CPU utlization show up on the cpu column along with load average. Is that possible?
