On Linux, I'm used to having /proc/diskstats, which has counters with the total number of bytes read/written. You can mathematically derive those over time (in Influx DB, rrdtool, etc) to obtain an accurate throughput rate. Is there no such thing on Windows?

For instance, this Nagios plugin uses DiskWriteBytesPerSec and DiskReadBytesPerSec. (partial) documentation can be found here. But these seem useless, because they only seem to measure the last second. So, if you have monitoring that polls per minute, this is useless.

I tried looking here under physical disk:

But I can't find a counter for bytes read or written. Is there really no such thing?
