+
+## Overview
+
+Collect information per hard disk available on host.
+
+The plugin calls `sysctl` function to collect necessary data.
+
+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 devstat instance
+
+These metrics give a general vision about I/O events on disks.
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| system.io | io, out | KiB/s |
+
+### Per disk
+
+
+
+This scope has no labels.
+
+Metrics:
+
+| Metric | Dimensions | Unit |
+|:------|:----------|:----|
+| disk.io | reads, writes, frees | KiB/s |
+| disk.ops | reads, writes, other, frees | operations/s |
+| disk.qops | operations | operations |
+| disk.util | utilization | % of time working |
+| disk.iotime | reads, writes, other, frees | milliseconds/s |
+| disk.await | reads, writes, other, frees | milliseconds/operation |
+| disk.avgsz | reads, writes, frees | KiB/operation |
+| disk.svctm | svctm | milliseconds/operation |
+
+
+
+## Alerts
+
+
+The following alerts are available:
+
+| Alert name | On metric | Description |
+|:------------|:----------|:------------|
+| [ 10min_disk_utilization ](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/health.d/disks.conf) | disk.util | average percentage of time ${label:device} disk was busy over the last 10 minutes |
+
+
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+No action required.
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### File
+
+The configuration file name for this integration is `netdata.conf`.
+Configuration for this specific integration is located in the `[plugin:freebsd:kern.devstat]` section within that file.
+
+The file format is a modified INI syntax. The general structure is:
+
+```ini
+[section1]
+ option1 = some value
+ option2 = some other value
+
+[section2]
+ option3 = some third value
+```
+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 netdata.conf
+```
