<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I found the problem (by reading <A

removed the gauge option and it is now reporting data. Now, just need to
find out how to convert blocks to bytes.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><B>Subject:</B> Disk IO on Debian with MRTG</DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to monitor disk IO (in either bytes or
blocks, anything right now). I have scoured the web on several different
occasions and have not come up with much. I do now have a script that when
run will give me some information but I cannot get MRTG to graph it. I am
guess I do not have my mrtg.cfg setup correctly to accept the output of the
script. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The script I have found on the
Internet:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>#!/bin/bash<BR>hostname=`hostname`<BR>uptime=`uptime | awk '{print
$3}'`<BR>uptime="$uptime days"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2># default to hdiska's
line.<BR>tag=${1:-hda}<BR>blck_in=`iostat -d | grep $tag | awk '{ print $5
}'`<BR>blck_out=`iostat -d | grep $tag | awk '{ print $6 }'`<BR>echo
$blck_in<BR>echo $blck_out<BR>echo $uptime<BR>echo $hostname<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When just running the script from the command line,
I get some information. If I keep running the script the information
changes so I assume it is blocks in and out...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
