ZPOOL-IOSTAT(8) 	     System Manager's Manual		 ZPOOL-IOSTAT(8)

NAME
     zpool-iostat -- display logical I/O statistics for ZFS storage pools

SYNOPSIS
     zpool iostat [[[-c SCRIPT] [-lq]]|-rw] [-T u|d] [-ghHLnpPvy] [poola||[pool
	   vdeva|]|vdeva|] [interval [count]]

DESCRIPTION
     Displays  logical	I/O  statistics for the given pools/vdevs.  Physical I/O
     statistics may be observed via iostat(1).	If writes  are	located  nearby,
     they  may	be merged into a single larger operation.  Additional I/O may be
     generated depending on the level of vdev redundancy.  To filter output, you
     may pass in a list of pools, a pool and list of vdevs in that  pool,  or  a
     list of any vdevs from any pool.  If no items are specified, statistics for
     every pool in the system are shown.  When given an interval, the statistics
     are  printed  every interval seconds until killed.  If -n flag is specified
     the headers are displayed only once, otherwise they are displayed	periodi-
     cally.   If  count  is specified, the command exits after count reports are
     printed.  The first report printed is always the statistics since boot  re-
     gardless  of whether interval and count are passed.  However, this behavior
     can be suppressed with the -y flag.  Also note that the units of K, M,  Ga|
     that  are	printed  in the report are in base 1024.  To get the raw values,
     use the -p flag.

     -c [SCRIPT1[,SCRIPT2]]a|
	     Run a script (or scripts) on each vdev and include the output as  a
	     new  column  in  the zpool iostat output.	Users can run any script
	     found  in	their  ~/.zpool.d   directory	or   from   the   system
	     /etc/zfs/zpool.d  directory.  Script names containing the slash (/)
	     character are not allowed.  The default search path can be overrid-
	     den by setting  the  ZPOOL_SCRIPTS_PATH  environment  variable.   A
	     privileged    user   can	only   run   -c   if   they   have   the
	     ZPOOL_SCRIPTS_AS_ROOT environment variable set.  If  a  script  re-
	     quires the use of a privileged command, like smartctl(8), then it's
	     recommended you allow the user access to it in /etc/sudoers.

	     If  -c  is  passed  without  a script name, it prints a list of all
	     scripts.  -c also sets verbose mode (-v).

	     Script output should be in the form of  "name=value".   The  column
	     name  is  set  to "name" and the value is set to "value".	Multiple
	     lines can be used to output multiple columns.  The  first	line  of
	     output not in the "name=value" format is displayed without a column
	     title,  and  no  more  output after that is displayed.  This can be
	     useful for printing error	messages.   Blank  or  NULL  values  are
	     printed as a '-' to make output AWKable.

	     The  following  environment  variables  are set before running each
	     script:
	     VDEV_PATH		  Full path to the vdev
	     VDEV_UPATH 	  Underlying path to the vdev  (/dev/sd*).   For
				  use  with  device mapper, multipath, or parti-
				  tioned vdevs.
	     VDEV_ENC_SYSFS_PATH  The sysfs path to the enclosure for  the  vdev
				  (if any).

     -T u|d  Display  a  time  stamp.  Specify u for a printed representation of
	     the internal representation of time.  See time(1).  Specify  d  for
	     standard date format.  See date(1).

     -g      Display vdev GUIDs instead of the normal device names.  These GUIDs
	     can  be  used  in	place  of  device names for the zpool detach/of-
	     fline/remove/replace commands.

     -H      Scripted mode.  Do not display headers, and separate  fields  by  a
	     single tab instead of arbitrary space.

     -L      Display  real  paths  for vdevs resolving all symbolic links.  This
	     can be used to look up the current block device name regardless  of
	     the /dev/disk/ path used to open it.

     -n      Print headers only once when passed

     -p      Display  numbers  in  parsable  (exact) values.  Time values are in
	     nanoseconds.

     -P      Display full paths for vdevs instead of only the last component  of
	     the path.	This can be used in conjunction with the -L flag.

     -r      Print  request  size  histograms for the leaf vdev's I/O.	This in-
	     cludes histograms of individual I/O (ind) and aggregate I/O  (agg).
	     These stats can be useful for observing how well I/O aggregation is
	     working.  Note that TRIM I/O may exceed 16M, but will be counted as
	     16M.

     -v      Verbose  statistics  Reports  usage statistics for individual vdevs
	     within the pool, in addition to the pool-wide statistics.

     -y      Normally the first line of  output  reports  the  statistics  since
	     boot: suppress it.

     -w      Display latency histograms:
	     total_wait 	Total I/O time (queuing + disk I/O time).
	     disk_wait		Disk I/O time (time reading/writing the disk).
	     syncq_wait 	Amount of time I/O spent in synchronous priority
				queues.  Does not include disk time.
	     asyncq_wait	Amount	of time I/O spent in asynchronous prior-
				ity queues.  Does not include disk time.
	     scrub		Amount of time I/O spent in scrub  queue.   Does
				not include disk time.
	     rebuild		Amount of time I/O spent in rebuild queue.  Does
				not include disk time.

     -l      Include average latency statistics:
	     total_wait 	Average  total	I/O  time  (queuing  +	disk I/O
				time).
	     disk_wait		Average disk I/O time (time reading/writing  the
				disk).
	     syncq_wait 	Average  amount of time I/O spent in synchronous
				priority queues.  Does not include disk time.
	     asyncq_wait	Average amount of time I/O spent in asynchronous
				priority queues.  Does not include disk time.
	     scrub		Average queuing time in scrub queue.   Does  not
				include disk time.
	     trim		Average  queuing  time	in trim queue.	Does not
				include disk time.
	     rebuild		Average queuing time in rebuild queue.	Does not
				include disk time.

     -q      Include active queue statistics.	Each  priority	queue  has  both
	     pending  (pend)  and active (activ) I/O requests.	Pending requests
	     are waiting to be issued to the disk, and active requests have been
	     issued to disk and are waiting for  completion.   These  stats  are
	     broken out by priority queue:
	     syncq_read/write	Current  number of entries in synchronous prior-
				ity queues.
	     asyncq_read/write	Current number of entries in asynchronous prior-
				ity queues.
	     scrubq_read	Current number of entries in scrub queue.
	     trimq_write	Current number of entries in trim queue.
	     rebuildq_write	Current number of entries in rebuild queue.

	     All queue statistics are instantaneous measurements of  the  number
	     of entries in the queues.	If you specify an interval, the measure-
	     ments will be sampled from the end of the interval.

EXAMPLES
   Example 13: Adding Cache Devices to a ZFS Pool
     The  following  command  adds  two  disks for use as cache devices to a ZFS
     storage pool:
	   # zpool add pool cache sdc sdd

     Once added, the cache devices gradually fill with content from main memory.
     Depending on the size of your cache devices, it could take over an hour for
     them to fill.  Capacity and reads can be monitored using the iostat subcom-
     mand as follows:
	   # zpool iostat -v pool 5

   Example 16: Adding output columns
     Additional columns can be added to the zpool status and zpool iostat output
     with -c.
	   # zpool status -c vendor,model,size
	      NAME     STATE  READ WRITE CKSUM vendor  model	    size
	      tank     ONLINE 0    0	 0
	      mirror-0 ONLINE 0    0	 0
	      U1       ONLINE 0    0	 0     SEAGATE ST8000NM0075 7.3T
	      U10      ONLINE 0    0	 0     SEAGATE ST8000NM0075 7.3T
	      U11      ONLINE 0    0	 0     SEAGATE ST8000NM0075 7.3T
	      U12      ONLINE 0    0	 0     SEAGATE ST8000NM0075 7.3T

	      U14      ONLINE 0    0	 0     SEAGATE ST8000NM0075 7.3T
