Changing from PerfMon to UsageMonitor skin :(

[jsmorley]

Hello,

Out of curiosity I tried adding another color image for Writes. It didn't work. Is it true that one can use only two images for both reads & writes?

I'm not sure I follow the problem you are having...

You can use any combination of images - either pseudo-randomly, or selectively say, with the mouse wheel.

Code: Select all

MouseScrollUpAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables MyLogoImage "((#MyLogoImage#+1)%10)" "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!RefreshGroup BigTunes]
MouseScrollDownAction=[!WriteKeyValue Variables MyLogoImage "((#MyLogoImage#=0)?9:(#MyLogoImage#-1))" "#@#RoundVariables.inc"][!RefreshGroup BigTunes]

The above code would cycle through 10 images, for example. (#MyLogoImage#+1)%10). 0 thru 9

I've a couple of questions, if I may.

The questions are about code of this sort:

Code: Select all

Measure=Plugin
Plugin=UsageMonitor
Category=LogicalDisk
Counter=Disk Writes/sec
Name=C:

1) Is the value returned in megabytes? (If so, that's fine.)
2) How does one measure all activity - reads and writes - for a single disk, please?

Thanks.

No, this is not the correct performance counter. This is the rate of write operations per second, not the amount of data (in bytes) per second. You want this:

Code: Select all

Measure=Plugin
Plugin=UsageMonitor
Category=LogicalDisk
Counter="Disk Write Bytes/sec"
Name="C:"

To answer your second question, the counter that combines read+write is "Disk Bytes/sec". Alternatively, if you already have a "Disk Read Bytes/sec" measure, you can just use a Calc measure to add the two values together instead of having another UsageMonitor measure.

So, to get a value for all activity - reads and writes - upon some single disk, the Counter is Disk Bytes/sec and, as the name of that counter suggests, the resulting data is in bytes. Right. Thanks. My skin now does what I wish.
