Disk IO Monitor

Hi fellas,

Would you just look at this thing I made yesterday?



As you've probably guessed from the post title it's a real-time disk IO monitor. Not hard to do by any means, but what makes it interesting is how it visualizes the data.

In short - when it draws a vertical bar to display a byte count, it factors the value into megabytes, kilobytes and bytes and then displays each of these separately, in their own dedicated "band".
In long - see here for an explanation how to read this graph and why it's done that way to begin with.

If you feel like playing with it, there's a dev build - https://bvckup2.com/files/io-monitor.exe.

70 KB, no dependencies, just save somewhere and run.

It is hard-coded to monitor C:\ at 500ms sampling rate for now.

It defaults to monitoring C:\, but another drive can be selected by clicking on "Disk C:".
The sampling rate is still fixed at 500ms.
And, no, you can't resize the window yet either :)

Have a look, let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Alex

Interesting reading!

Nice little utility. Does as you described.

Hopefully it can be resized in a future version. It's pretty small on my 2560x1440 monitor. I imagine it would be absolutely tiny on 4K+ screens.

Jotti shows that Clam AV has a false positive. Otherwise, all is well. :Thmbsup:

Very interesting utility, could be handy for quick reads on a server where diskperf counters are off by default. Drive letter selection would be nice to have for that even if it's only a command line option.

Testing...
Looks like a interesting app...
Good Work!
