Hi, There is currently no tool similar to iostat for SPDK. It would require two changes: 1) Allow multiple SPDK processes to connect to the same SSD (and associated data structures). This would allow perf and an I/O stat tool to run simultaneously. Intel is actively working on this, building on top of the DPDK multi-process framework. 2) A mechanism for the SPDK NVMe driver to save statistics on a per I/O queue basis. Memory for storing these per I/O queue statistics must not share cachelines with other I/O queues, and this mechanism must account for I/O queues being added or deleted at any time. This would be a very worthwhile feature although no one from Intel is currently working on this.

For example, any disk IO does not display in iostat or vmstat while I am running SPDK perf. I think that it is expected and necessary, but i wonder if there is any available tool to replace iostat for SPDK. Or is there any SPDK API that helps displaying disk IO ? ________________________________ tianyang(a)fusionstack.cn
