are you talking about a userparam for the agent ?

Yes,I means if I want to monitor Linux IO I will modify file "/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf" and append the line below to the end:
UserParameter=vfs.partition.read[*],/usr/bin/iostat -d -k $(/bin/df | grep "$1$" | awk '{print $$1}'|awk -F\/ '{print $$3}')|sed -n '4p'|awk '{print $$3}'
UserParameter=vfs.partition.write[*],/usr/bin/iostat -d -k $(/bin/df | grep "$1$" | awk '{print $$1}'|awk -F\/ '{print $$3}')|sed -n '4p'|awk '{print $$4}'

Who can help me,This script can not be used to monitor aix system

iostat

try man iostat first

you'll see there is no -k option.

iostat's -d param takes hdiskX numbers not hdX

as you'll be passing in the hdiskX param, there is probably no reason for the $(df ...) statement

from there you can grep and awk as you need.

UserParameter=vfs.partition.read[*],/usr/bin/iostat -d $1 | grep '^$1' | awk '{print $$5}'
UserParameter=vfs.partition.write[*],/usr/bin/iostat -d $1 | grep '^$1' | awk '{print $$6}'

Just as interest, what value does it have monitoring this ?

it appears to be just an incrementing number.
