[Hyperic-hq-discuss] I/O Using Sigar

[steampowered <aso...@fa...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to monitor disk I/O using the Sigar library in a Java program. This is primarily on Windows 64-bit (although I would be running this on Linux as well).

I had a couple of questions on the usage

1. Using sigar.getDiskUsage(fs), I'm able to get Reads, Writes, Write Bytes, Read Bytes on a Windows machine for a drive (service time is not returned). Is there a way to get the idle time percentage for the disk using Sigar? 

2. Is it possible to use Sigar to monitor the I/O of a given process? It appears that the disk usage only looks at the FileSystem.

Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance
