Linux commands for measuring disk activity
|
|||
|
======
|

|
|||

Linux systems provide a handy suite of commands for helping you see how busy your disks are, not just how full. In this post, we examine five very useful commands for looking into disk activity. Two of the commands (iostat and ioping) may have to be added to your system, and these same two commands require you to use sudo privileges, but all five commands provide useful ways to view disk activity.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Probably one of the easiest and most obvious of these commands is **dstat**.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### dtstat
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In spite of the fact that the **dstat** command begins with the letter "d", it provides stats on a lot more than just disk activity. If you want to view just disk activity, you can use the **-d** option. As shown below, you’ll get a continuous list of disk read/write measurements until you stop the display with a ^c. Note that after the first report, each subsequent row in the display will report disk activity in the following time interval, and the default is only one second.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ dstat -d
|
|||
|
-dsk/total-
|
|||
|
read writ
|
|||
|
949B 73k
|
|||
|
65k 0 <== first second
|
|||
|
0 24k <== second second
|
|||
|
0 16k
|
|||
|
0 0 ^C
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Including a number after the -d option will set the interval to that number of seconds.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ dstat -d 10
|
|||
|
-dsk/total-
|
|||
|
read writ
|
|||
|
949B 73k
|
|||
|
65k 81M <== first five seconds
|
|||
|
0 21k <== second five second
|
|||
|
0 9011B ^C
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Notice that the reported data may be shown in a number of different units — e.g., M (megabytes), k (kilobytes), and B (bytes).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Without options, the dstat command is going to show you a lot of other information as well — indicating how the CPU is spending its time, displaying network and paging activity, and reporting on interrupts and context switches.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ dstat
|
|||
|
You did not select any stats, using -cdngy by default.
|
|||
|
--total-cpu-usage-- -dsk/total- -net/total- ---paging-- ---system--
|
|||
|
usr sys idl wai stl| read writ| recv send| in out | int csw
|
|||
|
0 0 100 0 0| 949B 73k| 0 0 | 0 3B| 38 65
|
|||
|

|||
|
0 1 99 0 0| 0 16k| 64B 468B| 0 0 | 64 81 ^C
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The dstat command provides valuable insights into overall Linux system performance, pretty much replacing a collection of older tools, such as vmstat, netstat, iostat, and ifstat, with a flexible and powerful command that combines their features. For more insight into the other information that the dstat command can provide, refer to this post on the [dstat][1] command.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### iostat
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The iostat command helps monitor system input/output device loading by observing the time the devices are active in relation to their average transfer rates. It's sometimes used to evaluate the balance of activity between disks.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ iostat
|
|||
|

Of course, all the stats provided on Linux loop devices can clutter the display when you want to focus solely on your disks. The command, however, does provide the **-p** option, which allows you to just look at your disks — as shown in the commands below.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ iostat -p sda
|
|||
|
Linux 4.18.0-041800-generic (butterfly) 12/26/2018 _x86_64_ (2 CPU)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle
|
|||
|
0.07 0.01 0.03 0.05 0.00 99.85
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Device tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn
|
|||
|
sda 1.06 0.89 72.54 2843737 232815784
|
|||
|
sda1 1.04 0.88 72.54 2821733 232815784
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Note that **tps** refers to transfers per second.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can also get iostat to provide repeated reports. In the example below, we're getting measurements every five seconds by using the **-d** option.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ iostat -p sda -d 5
|
|||
|
Linux 4.18.0-041800-generic (butterfly) 12/26/2018 _x86_64_ (2 CPU)
|
|||

|
|||
|
sda1 1.04 0.88 72.51 2821745 232834048
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Device tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn
|
|||
|
sda 0.80 0.00 11.20 0 56
|
|||
|
sda1 0.80 0.00 11.20 0 56
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you prefer to omit the first (stats since boot) report, add a **-y** to your command.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ iostat -p sda -d 5 -y
|
|||
|
Linux 4.18.0-041800-generic (butterfly) 12/26/2018 _x86_64_ (2 CPU)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Device tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn
|
|||
|
sda 0.80 0.00 11.20 0 56
|
|||
|
sda1 0.80 0.00 11.20 0 56
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Next, we look at our second disk drive.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ iostat -p sdb
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### iotop
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The **iotop** command is top-like utility for looking at disk I/O. It gathers I/O usage information provided by the Linux kernel so that you can get an idea which processes are most demanding in terms in disk I/O. In the example below, the loop time has been set to 5 seconds. The display will update itself, overwriting the previous output.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ sudo iotop -d 5
|
|||
|
Total DISK READ: 0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE: 1585.31 B/s
|
|||
|

|
|||
|

|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### ioping
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The **ioping** command is an altogether different type of tool, but it can report disk latency — how long it takes a disk to respond to requests — and can be helpful in diagnosing disk problems.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ sudo ioping /dev/sda1
|
|||
|
4 KiB <<< /dev/sda1 (block device 111.8 GiB): request=1 time=960.2 us (warmup)
|
|||
|
4 KiB <<< /dev/sda1 (block device 111.8 GiB): request=2 time=841.5 us
|
|||
|
4 KiB <<< /dev/sda1 (block device 111.8 GiB): request=3 time=831.0 us
|
|||
|
4 KiB <<< /dev/sda1 (block device 111.8 GiB): request=4 time=1.17 ms
|
|||
|
^C
|
|||
|
--- /dev/sda1 (block device 111.8 GiB) ioping statistics ---
|
|||
|

|
|||

|
|||
|
min/avg/max/mdev = 831.0 us / 947.9 us / 1.17 ms / 158.0 us
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### atop
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The **atop** command, like **top** provides a lot of information on system performance, including some stats on disk activity.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||

```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you want to look at _just_ the disk stats, you can easily manage that with a command like this:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
$ atop | grep DSK
|
|||
|
$ atop | grep DSK
|
|||
|
DSK | sda | busy 0% | read 122901 | write 3318e3 | avio 0.67 ms |
|
|||
|

|
|||
|

|
|||
|

|

|
DSK | sda | busy 2% | read 0 | write 94 | avio 2.43 ms |
|
|||
|
DSK | sda | busy 2% | read 0 | write 92 | avio 2.43 ms |
|
|||
|
^C
|
|||
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
### Being in the know with disk I/O
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Linux provides enough commands to give you good insights into how hard your disks are working and help you focus on potential problems or slowdowns. Hopefully, one of these commands will tell you just what you need to know when it's time to question disk performance. Occasional use of these commands will help ensure that especially busy or slow disks will be obvious when you need to check them.
