Server Logical Disk Utilization

I am having trouble finding information on monitoring Logical Disk/Hard Drive utilization statistics (not capacity and free space but I/O reads and writes similar to Performance Monitor). I have the Microsoft SNMP agent installed on my servers but I can't find the correct OID to poll. A few quick Google searches mention that Microsoft provides "limited" SNMP capabilities by default. Has anyone else had any luck? Thanks in advance!

You may have to pull that info from WMI rather than SNMP.

Check out this link, it may be able to help you. http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript/wmi_disks.htm

Disk I/O information isn't available via SNMP in Windows Server 2003. If you want to collect Disk I/O information via SNMP from your Windows servers you'll need to use a 3rd party add-on called SNMP Informant. The free version will provide you with what you're looking for.

I gave that a shot and it gives me exactly what I need. Thanks!
