I like zabbix… but it annoys me that it’s ops per second, and bytes per second data is broken for hard drives in the linux 2.6 kernel. So I created a work around 

Add the following code to your zabbix_agentd.conf file (/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf by default), and restart the zabbix agent:

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.read.ops[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$4}'

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.read.ms[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$7}'

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.write.ops[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$8}'

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.write.ms[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$11}'

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.io.active[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$12}'

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.io.ms[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$13}'

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.read.sectors[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$6}'

UserParameter=custom.vfs.dev.write.sectors[*],cat /proc/diskstats | grep $1 | head -1 | awk '{print $$10}'

The names are pretty descriptive, but you can find more information on how to decipher /proc/diskstats here:http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/landley/kdocs/Documentation/iostats.txt

After you add the UserParameter’s to your config file, you can check that they work by using zabbix_get from your zabbix server:

zabbix_get -s HostName -p 10050 -k custom.vfs.dev.write.ops[sdb]

It should return a large number, and not something like: ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED. If it comes back not supported, make sure you restarted the agent after adding the userparameters. Then try running the commands outside of zabbix. Note that if you run the commands outsie of zabbix, you’ll need to replace the first $1 with a disk name, and remove one of the $ characters from the awk command.

Once you’ve verfied everything is in working order, you can add it as an item to your zabbix installation:

You can download my exported Template here , which will create a template called Template_app_FileServer. It will give you:

Disk Read/Write: Bytes/sec (or KB, MB per second)

Disk Read/Write: Ops/second

Disk Read/Write: Milliseconds spent reading or writing

Disk:IO currently executing

Disk:IO ms: time spent performing IO

第一步： 导入模版.

Zabbix_DISK I/O_temp

第二步：修改内容(它默认监控了sdb,sbc这两个分区)

第三步：上图（为了测试结果，我上传了8G的内容到我的物理机上了。）
