Nfs – Zabbix NFS monitoring

monitoringnfsperformance-monitoringsystem-monitoringzabbix

How would you monitor response of mounted NFS directory with Zabbix? I'm thinking about something like

$ time /bin/ls -U /path/to/nfs

(I think the output from nfsstat(8) relates less with user experience.)

I'd use ioping... But I probably wouldn't monitor NFS performance at that layer, but rather from the NFS server itself, as most causes of user experience issues would ultimately be rooted in networking or the host server.
