Disk Bytes/sec (AIX 6.1)

Microsoft.AIX.6.1.PhysicalDisk.DiskBytesPerSecond.Collection (Rule)

Collection rule for the performance counter Physical Disk\Disk Bytes/sec

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects performance data for the Physical Disk\Physical Disk Bytes/sec performance counter. The collected values are accessible in performance views and reports.

This metric exposes the average number of bytes per second transferred to or from the physical disk during write or read operations.

The value returned by the agent is the average rate for the preceding 5 minutes.

Monitoring of physical disks is disabled by default. Enable monitoring by enabling the object discovery named 'Discover AIX 6.1 Physical Disks.'
