I have succesfully added a nice set of monitoring sensors in PRTG, but I am missing an sensor to monitor the I/O load on the SAN. Is there any available ?

Dear Henk van Beek

The SSH SAN Physical Disk sensor shows the total IOs. Current I/O load cannot be monitored out of the box.

Hi Henk,

You wil need to download a MIB file for the device from the vendor or from http://www.oidview.com and convert it to an OID file using Paesslers MIB Importer and Converter.

Next you can create a new SNMP Library Sensor that will use the OID file that you created.

Hi Tatiana,
Please check with your vendor which OID refers to the IO you want to monitor. As I neither know the device you are using nor your configuration, I'm not able to help here. Sorry.
Best regards

Guys, have you any success with the question? I have the same task! I confused with SNMP monitoring, because i can see device info only with SSH.
