Disk IO Monitoring software

[Nikumba]

I know this could go in the windows section, but its more server based.

We are looking at doing virtulisation via VMWare, however our IT supplier wants to charge us £6,000 to do a plate spin audit on how much data, network ram etc is used by our servers.

Now we use Netmon, so can get access to some of that information ourselves.

What we cant find out is the Disk IO, and I know prefmon can do it, but that is a real time tool, we need to leave it open, wont show us the peaks etc.

So I am after some free software I can put on these servers and run, and see what happens

perfmon will log data to csv or tsv. You can then graph it in excel.

We did something similar recently. Dell Engineer sent me instructions on setting up the perfmon for a monitoring period. The engineer took the data and did some calculations

I dont suppose you still have those instructions do you? If so could I get a copy of them?

Thanks
