Summary

How does this report work?

The Disk Performance analysis report displays a chart for the following Performance counters:

LogicalDisk\Avg. Disk Queue Length\_Total
LogicalDisk\Disk Reads/sec\_Total
LogicalDisk\Disk Writes/sec\_Total
LogicalDisk\Avg. Disk sec/Transfer\_Total
LogicalDisk\Disk Bytes/sec\_Total

The report finds data if the objects supplied are of type

Windows Server 2016 and 1709+ Logical Disk

Search for disks by the logical name (e.g. “C:“).

The report displays a chart and data table for every distinct object supplied. (e.g. Parameters include C: and D: there will be two charts on the report). The report shows a historical chart without aggregation.
