Seeking Splunk Metrics for Disk IOPS Reporting on IOP Dashboards

A user was looking for the Disk Read and Write IOPS metrics for custom dashboards on IOP. Someone suggested to utilize the underlying Splunk query to customize existing reports, while another user mentioned that the metric diskreadpersec_avg is Disk Reads IOPS. More information on the other metric was requested.

Hello,

I’m working on custom dashboards on IOP. I need to report Disk Read IOPS and Disk Write IOPS. Do you know which metrics to request in Splunk please ?

And do you know what are the differences between the metrics avgdiskreadpersec_avg et diskreadpersec_avg ? Does diskreadpersec_avg is the Disk Read IOPS metric ?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Maybe could help me please ? 🙂Hi Philippe, I am not an IOP expert, but on any report, did you know you can press the magnifying glass to see the underlying splunk query? This will allow you to easily customize existing reports

Hello Peter, thanks for your answer. I know it, thank you. But I don’t know if the metric named diskreadpersec_avg is the disk reads IOPS or another king of measure.

Maybe you can help here?

diskreadpersec_avg is definitely read IOPs, averaged for the respective 5-minute period

The other one looks like another aggregation of the same metric, I can’t tell without the full context. If you paste the full search here it will help
