I would like to suggest adding **I/O Delay (%)** as a first-class resource usage indicator in the Proxmox VE Web UI.

Currently, Proxmox provides useful real-time information for resources such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk activity, network traffic, and other metrics. However, **I/O delay is particularly valuable when diagnosing storage-related performance problems**, and it would be extremely useful to see it directly in the Web UI.

### Proposed feature

Add an **I/O Delay (%)** column/indicator for every VM and container, showing the percentage of time that the guest is being delayed while waiting for I/O.

Ideally, this would appear everywhere Proxmox currently displays resource consumption information.

Does anyone else think this would be quite useful?

If so, you can request an improvement or its implementation by leaving a comment at:
