About IO wait

[frufin]

Hi and thanks again for you project !

I'd like to monitor what's usually called IO wait, but i don't find it inside your documentation.
Is that disksIO('tWaitTime') ?
And in that case, is it really unavailable for Mac ? Any other way to calcutate ?

I have another question : are rIO_sec and wIO_sec getting Kbytes/sec or RW events/sec ?

Thanks in advance !

@frufin ... I am just trying to pick up some issues / questions here ...

• IO wait .... what exactly would you expect here?
• tWaitTime is weighted time spent doing I/Os (ms)

The naming of some fields in our lib is unfortunately not really correct and will be changed in V6

For macOS I have to check if there is something equivalent, that I can get ... not sure ...

Hi @sebhildebrandt, any answer ?
For me, IO wait (often shown as iowait) is CPU time wasted waiting on slow I/O
Thanks !
