cumulative disk io operations in new clients

[ProTON]

Hello,

i've used io[disk_io] items on my servers to monitor cumulative disk read and write io operations. Recently I've upgraded zabbix client to version 1.4 and saw that io[disk_io] is no longer available. Instead there are vfs.dev.read and vfs.dev.write, however I want to get this information in one trigger. Is there a way to do this as I don't need that information be seperated and also this way zabbix database will be a lot smaller (I monitor houndreds of disks).

Best Regars,
ProTON

In my opinion, triggers expressions only working with items values.
You can set keep history and trends items fields to 1 for minimize database load.

Erm, I ment "i want to do it in one item". I don't use triggers on these items, but I must keep history and trends info for another 1 to 3 months.

I'm still searching for a solution on this issue. Can't upgrade to 1.4 until it is solved :(

I thought that it was possible to have a item from 2 items?

OTOH: reads and writes *ARE* different things, so why exactly do you need it to be together?

What is the way to do this?
