How to monitor IO svctm with every 5 mins frequency using nagios?

  • 772

I want to collect samples of iostat's svctm, await every 5 mins from all of my servers and store them in nagios. I want to get the values for what is happening in every 5 minutes (not since boot time, iostat's first output gives values since boot time). How can I do it in nagios?

EDIT The tps should NOT be calculated #of transactions happened since reboot divided by uptime. What I want is # of transferred happened in last X mins divided X*60.

  1. Nagios has a plugin to check iostat: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Operating-Systems/Linux/check_iostat--2D-I-2FO-statistics/details

    You'll also need to configure nagios to collect performance data

    and run the checks every 5 minutes by setting check_interval to 5
