@Brian: this script given here is completely unsuitable for what it sounds as if you want to do. If I were trapped in the land of Windows, I’d import the .csv file of iostat values into an Excel spreadsheet, and then use the Chart Wizard to make a pretty picture from the numbers. Your time fields are the horizontal (X) axis and the values for each field are the points of the lines.

If you want it to look similar, you’ll also use some averaging function on your percent-utilized values to arrive at that graph line. Having it in a spreadsheet also options up the possibility of all sorts of other analysis. Good luck.

Can you give a newbe a lesson on how I can run this on a windows box if I already have the Iostat file captured in .csv format?

Basically I would love to be able to graph the IOstat data like your example above. I have the .csv for 24 hours of host data but not sure what to do next

Thanks!
