Visualizing Disk IO through Kibana 5 and Metric Beat

Elastic Stack Beats
1

Hi,

I am new to metric beat and I want to visualize Disk IO operations of each disk .I am getting various parameters like(system.diskio.read.bytes , system.diskio.write.bytes , system.diskio.read.counts , system.diskio.write.count) but I don't know which one to use and how to create its visualization in kb ana. From the documentation, it is not clear that How to use these fields to monitor IOPS.

What you are looking for is probably Timelion (part of Kibana) and derivates: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/timelion.html You can do calculations as part of the visualisations. Best is probably to write down first what values you would need to calculate IOPS and check if they are available.
