Can I run iostat on a Synology?

I have a Synology RS812RP+ which I'm using for a little bit of departmental testing. I've stuffed a bunch of SSD disks in it, and I'm curious about monitoring the disk IO.

iostat doesn't come pre-installed on the synology and it doesn't have the tools to build it. Does anyone have any advice about getting iostat running in this environment?

You can install dstat as a replacement for iostat

dstat - 0.7.0-1 - dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat, nfsstat, and ifstat

You can install it by using ipkg which allows you to download other tools as well.
