[Xymon] iostat - how?

[Vernon Everett]

What are you trying to monitor?
Check here http://www.xymonton.org/monitors
There is a diskstat.ksh which will graph disk IO on Solaris, and
diskstat.pl was
created to do the same thing for Linux.
I am sure you could adapt either of those to monitor any output from the
iostat command.
