Hello everyone.

Does anyone know how to collect the disk speed, like I can do it via hdparm or dd?

I don't know of a standard solution for this. Also, your examples are
performance metrics which cannot be collected passively and continuously
such as other system metrics (i.e. disk throughput based on normal usage).

You can still set up a small cronjob to run such benchmarks and place
the results in a .prom file for the node_exporter's textfile collector.

For background/examples, see this blog post and the three linked articles:

Kind regards,
Christian
