Hi,

I couldn't find a place or path to configure and setup metrics about "Disk Latency" in "cdm" probe.

How can I get the right way to configure this options?

Regards,

Nelson

Nelson -

Disk Latency metrics can only be configured for the cdm probe from the Admin Console.  Make sure you have the latest GA release of the cdm probe installed then, from Admin Console and select the Disks node in the left hand column.  From there you can configure Disk Latency metrics.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Kathy Maguire

Thank you for your help!

Hi Kathy, from what I can tell looking at this today actually, you cannot enable this on a per disk correct? I enabled it and I'm seeing it reports it as an overall latency # and not a per disk value.

I need it to report on my C:\ D:\ E:\ drives and need to alert on just if the E:\ disk goes over a certain value.

You are absolutely correct.  The Disk Latency metrics can only be configured at the top Disks node from the cdm Configuration page from Admin Console and not at the individual disk node(s).  If you check the cdm.log file at loglevel 5, you will see that the Disk Latency QoS metrics are pulled from the _Total instances from the corresponding PhysicalDisk latency counters.  

Hi Kathy, thank you for that clarification. This then is useless. Were trying to figure out what disks have high latency and looking at a production box that has 30 disks all we get is just a very high ##-Million MS # and its cumulative so its not at all helpful.
