Does anyone know of a utility that can track writes to files in an

matches what I'm being told the application is supposed to be doing.


We've written a few for this purpose (local IO probing).

Start with collectl (looks at /proc/diskstats), and others. Our tools go to /proc/diskstats, and use this to compute BW and IOPs per device.

If you need to log it for a long time, set up a time series database (we use influxdb and the graphite plugin). Then grab your favorite metrics tool that talks to graphite/influxdb (I like https://github.com/joelandman/sios-metrics for obvious reasons), and start collecting data.

Thanks, Stan
