The DiskActivityTest reports statistics pertaining to the input/output utilization of each of the disk partitions of a system. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the DiskActivityTest.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed. 

• Setting the USEEXE flag to true, ensures that the disk activity metrics are collected by executing a binary instead of dynamically linking to the Performance instrumentation library. By default, this is set to false.

• To obtain disk activity metrics for both logical and physical disks, enter all in the DISKS text box. To collect metrics for physical disks, set the DISKS parameter to Physical and to collect metrics for logical disks, set the parameter to Logical.

• Once the above value is provided, click on the Update button to register the changes made.
