 Description   

the Linux template monitor disk read and write latency

vfs.dev.read.await[{#DEVNAME}]
vfs.dev.write.await[{#DEVNAME}]

can you add these values in the windows template.

perf_counter_en["\PhysicalDisk({#DEVNAME})\Avg. Disk sec/Read",60]
perf_counter_en["\PhysicalDisk({#DEVNAME})\Avg. Disk sec/Write",60]

and corresponding trigger too

 

thanks a lot

I don't understand this request? Can you explain it to me please BMachiavello ?

I have that item in my (official) Windows OS Templates since ever, and when you browse in the Zabbix Git repo you can find it in the 3.4 Template for example:
https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/repos/zabbix/browse/templates/classic/template_os_windows.xml?at=refs%2Ftags%2F3.4.15

<key>perf_counter[\234(_Total)\1402]</key>

Was it removed in the time between 3.4 and 5.0 Templates re-desing by the team of alarionovs ? Why has it to be re-added?
Because when I browser the Git repo, that Item key is there.

Update: I browsed all release tags, and it seems like it was missing in 5.0.0 and re-added in like 5.0.2. I think that is the reason for this request.

Not sure you speak about the same thing

 

1402 is Avg. Disk Queue Length

I speak about adding Avg. Disk sec/Read and write which is the latency

Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2020 Nov 16 ]

I'm very sorry. I really mixed things up. You are right, Avg. Disk sec/Read|Write isn't there, wasn't there and should be there.

But thanks to you I discovered, that Average disk read queue length perf_counter[\234(_Total)\1402] and Average disk write queue length perf_counter[\234(_Total)\1404] are missing from the 5.0.5 Template.

Hello Marco.
The template doesn't have these items since version 4.4.
But it has got "Disk average queue size (avgqu-sz)" 

perf_counter_en["\PhysicalDisk(\{#DEVNAME})\Current Disk Queue Length",60]

.
Do you need independent items about reading and writing queues?

Comment by Marco Hofmann [ 2020 Nov 17 ]

Yes! In the past we had severals cases where this value helped us to troubleshoot MS SQL Server issues. IMHO I don't find the combined value helpful.
