Disk I/O Usage Monitoring

DBAce

Hey community,

I need to configure an alert for when the disk I/O on a server goes below 3000. Is that something that is possible in SQL Monitor? Thanks for your time

There's no disk utilisation alert for host machines I'm afraid, but the average read/write alerts might be sufficient for you? Or there's an average i/o stalls custom metric here: https://sqlmonitormetrics.red-gate.com/average-io-stalls/, which you could then create an alert for.

Hey Russell, I am in need of having real time instead of averages to indicate if we may be having an immediate I/O issue. Thank you very much for your response

I suspect this was the case - sorry that I can't be of more help right no, but please do post over on the sql monitor uservoice: https://sqlmonitor.uservoice.com/forums/91743-suggestions with as much background info/use case you can provide.
