<div>Thanks Jeremy. Your input is much appreciated.</div>

</div>
<div>I agree and would rather perform all tasks I can directly with Xymon.</div>

<div>PS – I'm using devmon too, but just getting into it. It sounds like devmon may give you better/other IO stats vs making custom Xymon graphs for disk io from the OS information provided.</div>

<div>I'd much prefer to use Xymon to collect the iostat disk details (into [iostatdisk] client data), and there's code in there to do this for Solaris. However due to differences in how various OSes show their iostat output, Xymon support is not universal
(yet). Perhaps, now that "sar" is more widely used, and generally consistent among OSes, this would be a way forward to universal support for disk iostat graphs.</div>

</div>
<div>I have nothing against devmon - I use it extensively. It's just that I would prefer to install and manage (and argue management for) one piece of software instead of two.</div>
