IOPing
Plugin: ioping.plugin Module: ioping.plugin
Overview
Monitor IOPing metrics for efficient disk I/O latency tracking. Keep track of read/write speeds, latency, and error rates for optimized disk operations.
Plugin uses ioping command.
This collector is supported on all platforms.
This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances.
Default Behavior
Auto-Detection
This integration doesn’t support auto-detection.

Metrics
Metrics grouped by scope.
The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels.
Per disk
This scope has no labels.
Metrics:
| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| ioping.latency | latency | microseconds |
Alerts
The following alerts are available:
| Alert name | On metric | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ioping_disk_latency | ioping.latency | average I/O latency over the last 10 seconds |
