Hi Team,

Is there any plugin for monitoring Storage I/O for Windows server

Check out our Exchange to see if you can find any plugins - https://exchange.nagios.org

If you cannot find something there, I would look to see if you can achieve this through monitoring a performance counter. (if there is an applicable one)

I did not find any plugin https://exchange.nagios.org

How to do this ? If we do this do we get a graph for this ?

Take a look at Start -> Performance Monitor to see if you can find the metric, if you do, then you can use the Windows Server wizard to add the counter to be monitored.

Take a look at these links -

Or use this one:

This outlines the format a plugin is expected to return data:

It should be relatively simply for you or your Systems Administrator to write up a script that output the data you want in the format Nagios requires. There are a lot of different ways to measure IO, and this way you'll be sure you're getting what you want.
