DISK I/O - how to monitor with Zabbix

In the spirit of Zabbix and good monitoring I have decided to share a little something I have found and modified.

In this article I will explain and display how we can go about monitoring DISK I/O.

Recent project focuses

Hello my few little readers,

Zabbix-Agent for Debian & RHL Linux distributions

#Replace the values inside "{}" with your own settings
#First we add the Monitoring server to our server host file:

echo "{xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx} {your.server.tld}" >> /etc/hosts

Zabbix Server for Debian Wheezy

#For this installation I used Zabbix version 2.0.6, there may be a new version released which you are more than welcome to release.

MyDNS for Debian Wheezy

The complete MyDNS install for Debian Wheezy

About this place...

What's here has probably already been done. In fact much of it comes from manuals and wiki's I stitched together into what you see now. Still as a Sysadmin we all have our ways. So here is mine. I thought I would share, I have always loved open-source and I feel knowledge should be shared on the same platform to encourage even greater creativity.

What you will find is my works with Linux systems, everyday builds of servers serving a particular service if not multiple. From Vmware to BSD Jails. From hosted services to monitoring your toaster. If I have tried it I will post it. Stay tuned. I have tons of stuff to make life easier :)

So sit back, have a read and if you find something useful let me know, leave a comment, hell you can +plus it :)

NB*** As always!
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

Thank you,
Renaldo
