I'm writing a customized monitoring panel for Ubuntu Server.
At this step I need to get real time hard disk read and write rate then put it into a file as a log file.
I used tools like Hdparm, Iotop but they did not work. I want the result in a file.
I want a result such as: 10Kb read - 2kb write - 2014-2-13 16:40:03
So I can run it as Crontab and monitor every I/O rate.
