The check plugin esx_vsphere_counters_diskio, which monitors the IO throughput of ESX host systems, displayed far too low values for the rates of IO operations. This has been fixed by using the metrics disk.numberReadAveraged and disk.numberWriteAveraged instead of disk.numberRead and disk.numberWrite.
