Disk Transfers, Write Time % and Read Time % of a Cacti graph

[ddrillich]

Good Day,

We are looking at Cacti graphs. They show Disk Transfers, Write Time % and Read Time %. Therefore, what are these disk transfers?

Regards,
Dan

The term "Disk Transfers" is a short-hand way of saying 'the data written to a disk and the data read from a disk'. It refers to the amount of data read or written. Useful 'disk statistics' would include the transfer rates (reads per second and writes per second) and the amount transfered (kilobytes per second) and disk utilisation and average service time, etc.

I hope that helps.

Mike
