# Module: diskstat

Displays disk read/write throughput by disk in kB/sec.

## Current platforms

Linux

## Instances

single only

## additional resources

none

## Resource defaults

Resource defaults explicitly altered from the global defaults by this module:

- label: diskN read/write(where N is disk number)
- litbackground: #e7ad74 (read) or #ade774 (write)
- order: 10
- scalereturn: 120
- scalewidadj: 150*disks

## Possible enhancements

Could (and should) be extended to use vmstat/iostat utilities on platforms other than Linux (eg, Solaris *BSD). Also, currently renumbers disks into a contiguous order on Linux; shouldn't do that.

MGM will not get your whites whiter or your colors brighter. It will, however, sit there and look spiffy while sucking down a major honking wad of RAM.
