Virtual Machine Disk Performance Charts

These charts visualize current disk utilization by the virtual machine(s).

Disk Reads Number and Disk Writes Number charts diagram disk utilization, measured as a number of disk read (write) operations performed since last synchronization. The values used are actually a differentiation of numReads (numWrites) values provided in vmwHBATable SNMP variable.

Disk Read Rate and Disk Write Rate charts diagram disk read/write rates calculated as time derivatives of kbRead / kbWritten (total kilobytes read from / written to the disk per second) values in vmwHBATable SNMP variable.

Mind issues concerning too small synchronization period, as mentioned in Processing Data section, when customizing vmwHBATable synchronization options.
