This doesn't directly answer your question, but for what it's
worth...<br>
<br>
After fighting with Xymon metric collection/new graphs some years
ago, last year I discovered Graphite
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://codeascraft.etsy.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-everything/">http://codeascraft.etsy.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-everything/</a>).
I was trying to do something relatively simple (track ping response
time to my storage system) but it was somewhat annoying to get the
data into Xymon and IIRC it was very annoying to deal with data for
which I did not want the default RRD retention parameters to apply.<br>
<br>
I now use Xymon for monitoring and alerting, Graphite for metrics,
trending and analysis. I rsync the RRD data from Xymon to Graphite
(which can use it directly) to take advantage of the Xymon agent
collection. I have written Xymon scripts to allow monitoring and
alerting based on metric levels
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/dmsasser/graphiteutils">https://github.com/dmsasser/graphiteutils</a>).<br>
<br>
So, effectively my *very* external script for monitoring Disk IO
is...<br>
<ul>
<li>host sFlow collector on Windows to get stats</li>
<li>sFlow2Graphite.pl script (open source)</li>
<li>Graphite data collection and display</li>
<li>Xymon consuming graphite data and triggering alerts on levels.</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
Incidentally, if you're monitoring virtual machines in Vmware you
can get the data directly from ESX, which might be easier.<br>
</p>
<p>I can share more information about configuration/setup if
desired.<br>
