Disk performance is often the main performance issue in any high traffic servers and databases.
Instane sizing at humio do provide a good way to measure the disk read/write bandwidth using fio. The test might simulate how humio will
read/write. However, change the parameters accordingly.

sudo fio –filename=/data/fio-test.tmp –filesize=1Gi –bs=256K -rw=read –time_based –runtime=5s –name=read_bandwidth_test –numjobs=8 –thread –direct=1
I can be executed using a configuration file as well.
Create a file : humio-read-test.fio
[global] thread rw=read bs=256Ki directory=/data/fio-tmp-dir direct=1 [read8] stonewall size=1Gi numjobs=8
fio --bandwidth-log ./humio-read-test.fio # Clean tmp files from fio: rm /data/fio-tmp-dir/read8.?.?
