 ### Measurements & Fields:
 
 - diskio
     - reads (integer, counter)
     - writes (integer, counter)
-    - read_bytes (integer, bytes)
+    - read_bytes (integer, counter, bytes)
-    - write_bytes (integer, bytes)
+    - write_bytes (integer, counter, bytes)
-    - read_time (integer, milliseconds)
+    - read_time (integer, counter, milliseconds)
-    - write_time (integer, milliseconds)
+    - write_time (integer, counter, milliseconds)
-    - io_time (integer, milliseconds)
+    - io_time (integer, counter, milliseconds)
-    - iops_in_progress (integer, counter) (since #2037, not yet in STABLE)
+    - weighted_io_time (integer, counter, milliseconds)
+    - iops_in_progress (integer, gauge)
+
+On linux these values correspond to the values in [`/proc/diskstats`](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/ABI/testing/procfs-diskstats) and [`/sys/block/<dev>/stat`](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/block/stat.txt).
+
+#### `reads` & `writes`:
+
+These values increment when an I/O request completes.
+
+#### `read_bytes` & `write_bytes`:
+
+These values count the number of bytes read from or written to this
+block device.
+
+#### `read_time` & `write_time`:
+
+These values count the number of milliseconds that I/O requests have
+waited on this block device.  If there are multiple I/O requests waiting,
+these values will increase at a rate greater than 1000/second; for
+example, if 60 read requests wait for an average of 30 ms, the read_time
+field will increase by 60*30 = 1800.
+
+#### `io_time`:
+
+This value counts the number of milliseconds during which the device has
+had I/O requests queued.
+
+#### `weighted_io_time`:
+
+This value counts the number of milliseconds that I/O requests have waited
+on this block device.  If there are multiple I/O requests waiting, this
+value will increase as the product of the number of milliseconds times the
+number of requests waiting (see `read_time` above for an example).
+
+#### `iops_in_progress`:
+
+This value counts the number of I/O requests that have been issued to
+the device driver but have not yet completed.  It does not include I/O
+requests that are in the queue but not yet issued to the device driver.
