+
+# NAME
+disk-io - This module keeps track of the amount of bytes being
+read/written from/to disk. It can distinguish between all partitions
+currently present in the machine.
+
+# TAGS
+
+[[ *Name*
+:[ *Type*
+:[ *Description*
+|  device
+:  string
+:  Name of the device being tracked (use the command *lsblk* to see these).
+   There is a special device, "Total", that reports the total stats
+   for the machine
+|  is_disk
+:  boolean
+:  whether or not the device is a disk (e.g. sda, sdb) or a partition
+   (e.g. sda1, sda2, ...). "Total" is advertised as a disk.
+|  read_speed
+:  int
+:  bytes read, in bytes/s
+|  write_speed
+:  int
+:  bytes written, in bytes/s
+|  ios_in_progress
+:  int
+:  number of ios that are happening at the time of polling
+
+# CONFIGURATION
+
+[[ *Name*
+:[ *Type*
+:[ *Req*
+:[ *Description*
+|  interval
+:  int
+:  no
+:  Refresh interval of disk's stats in ms (default=500).
+   Cannot be less then 500 ms
+
+# EXAMPLES
+
+This reports the total amount of bytes being read and written every second,
+formatting in b/s, kb/s, mb/s, or gb/s, as appropriate.
