    What does vfs.dev.util mean?

    Hello everyone!

    I'm troubleshooting a performance issue on my PostgreSQL stack that is running on EC2 instances in AWS.

    The instances have EBS GP2 volumes with 2048GB and a total of 6144 IOPS.


    You can see below that Zabbix reports the /pgsql volume to reach 100% of utilization. And the timing of those are exactly when I have the performance issues. However, looking at the AWS dashboard, I see that the disks are not reaching their limit.

    So, I would like to know what does vfs.dev.util[] mean? Which Linux command does vfs.dev.util[] represent? I wanna know if that graph is valid and is showing real and valid data.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, maybe the data is from /sys/block/DEVICENAME/stat? Based on https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/...s/linux_active
