The I/O plugin allows you to monitor the percentage of CPU time during which I/O requests were issued to the device. In order to have access to this plugin, you will need to install the sysstat package to your server. The process for installation is different depending on OS, so follow the process per your needs.

To add an I/O agent resource to your server first see Add FortiMonitor Agent checks if you have not already.
