# IOPing Plugin: ioping.plugin Module: ioping.plugin ## Overview Monitor IOPing metrics for efficient disk I/O latency tracking. Keep track of read/write speeds, latency, and error rates for optimized disk operations. Plugin uses `ioping` command. This collector is supported on all platforms. This collector supports collecting metrics from multiple instances of this integration, including remote instances. ### Default Behavior #### Auto-Detection This integration doesn't support auto-detection. #### Limits The default configuration for this integration does not impose any limits on data collection. #### Performance Impact The default configuration for this integration is not expected to impose a significant performance impact on the system. ## Metrics Metrics grouped by *scope*. The scope defines the instance that the metric belongs to. An instance is uniquely identified by a set of labels. ### Per disk This scope has no labels. Metrics: | Metric | Dimensions | Unit | |:------|:----------|:----| | ioping.latency | latency | microseconds | ## Alerts The following alerts are available: | Alert name | On metric | Description | |:------------|:----------|:------------| | [ ioping_disk_latency ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/ioping.conf) | ioping.latency | average I/O latency over the last 10 seconds | ## Setup ### Prerequisites #### Install ioping You can install the command by passing the argument `install` to the plugin (`/usr/libexec/netdata/plugins.d/ioping.plugin install`). ### Configuration #### File The configuration file name for this integration is `ioping.conf`. You can edit the configuration file using the `edit-config` script from the Netdata [config directory](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/configure/nodes.md#the-netdata-config-directory). ```bash cd /etc/netdata 2>/dev/null || cd /opt/netdata/etc/netdata sudo ./edit-config ioping.conf ``` #### Options

Config options

| Name | Description | Default | Required | |:----|:-----------|:-------|:--------:| | update_every | Data collection frequency. | 1s | no | | destination | The directory/file/device to ioping. | | yes | | request_size | The request size in bytes to ioping the destination (symbolic modifiers are supported) | 4k | no | | ioping_opts | Options passed to `ioping` commands. | -T 1000000 | no |

#### Examples ##### Basic Configuration This example has the minimum configuration necessary to have the plugin running.
