This website will hopefully answer a few questions I've had for nearly as long as I've had a linode:
- How much IO am I performing on a daily basis?
- How many times have I hit the io rate limiter?
- How bad is my io rate compared to other Linodes?
join and rate your linode!
how low can you go?
Think of it as a contest. The lower your IO rate, the more the applications you run, the better tuned your applications are. And maybe, just maybe, the better SysAdmin you are 8-)
Why would I want to graph my IO rate?
Using this FREE service will help you identify io problems with your linode much easier. With daily, weekly, monthly and yearly graphs, trends will become much more apparent. Remember when you installed MySQL and suddenly your performance slowed to a crawl? Did you tune your Linode with caker's mysql my.cnf?
Rate My Linode.com daily (5 minute average) graph
Here's the graph for the Linode 540 running this website (and other websites). This Linode is definitly a "working overloaded" Linode. The Y-Axis is a logarithmic scale, to allow the io rate to stand out, since it is so small in comparison to the remaining tokens and token max.
