I need to monitor the Disk Latency on a Linux Server. One way I thought of was to simply copy a large file every time and use how long it took as my measure.

Hi,
you may use the command "iostat" in addition to a "custom" SSH Sensor hack. Thne you may just parse the output to get the values you want:

Device:            tps    kB_read/s    kB_wrtn/s    kB_read    kB_wrtn
sda               0.98         0.13        21.42     283079   46220836

Best regards
