### Overview

This plugin provides native system I/O instrumentation for metrics collection via the system `ioping` utility.

### Files
 * bin/metrics-ioping.rb
 * bin/metrics-iostat-extended.rb
 
**metrics-ioping**
Pushes `ioping` stats into Graphite.

**metrics-iostat-extended**
Collects iostat data for a specified disk or all disks. Output is in Graphite format. 

## Usage examples

### Help

**metrics-ioping.rb**
```
Usage: metrics-ioping.rb (options)
    -C                               Use cached I/O
    -c COUNT                         Stop after count requests
    -d DEVICE|FILE|DIRECTORY         Destination device, file or directory (required)
    -D                               Use direct I/O
    -i INTERVAL                      Interval between requests in seconds
    -n NAME                          Name of the series (required)
    -s, --scheme SCHEME              Metric naming scheme, text to prepend to metric
```

**metrics-iostat-extended.rb**
```
Usage: metrics-iostat-extended.rb (options)
    -d, --disk DISK                  Disk to gather stats for
    -x, --exclude-disk DISK[,DISK]   List of disks to exclude
    -i, --interval SECONDS           Period over which statistics are calculated (in seconds)
    -N, --show-dm-names              Display the registered device mapper names for any device mapper devices.  Useful for viewing LVM2 statistics
        --scheme SCHEME              Metric naming scheme, text to prepend to .$parent.$child
```

## Configuration
### Sensu Go
#### Asset registration

Assets are the best way to make use of this plugin. If you're not using an asset, please consider doing so! If you're using sensuctl 5.13 or later, you can use the following command to add the asset: 

`sensuctl asset add sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-io-checks`

If you're using an earlier version of sensuctl, you can download the asset definition from [this project's Bonsai asset index page](https://bonsai.sensu.io/assets/sensu-plugins/sensu-plugins-io-checks).
