Check_diskio is a straightforward Nagios plugin that monitors disk I/O activity on Linux (2.4 and 2.6 kernels). Specify critical and warning thresholds, select the device, and initialize with the -r flag. Increase verbosity with the -v option.
Using check_diskio is a breeze. All you need to do is include the parameters for the critical and warning thresholds, as well as the disk device to monitor. Additionally, check_diskio includes an optional initialize parameter for quick and easy setup. And if you want more detailed monitoring, check_diskio also offers a verbose option—as we said, it's incredibly easy to use!
Overall, we highly recommend check_diskio for all Linux users looking for reliable disk I/O monitoring. Give it a try and see for yourself how easy it is to use and how much peace of mind it can provide!
