|
|
libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform |
50 |
|
|
access to statistics about the system on which it's run. |
51 |
|
|
It's written in C and presents a selection of useful |
52 |
|
|
interfaces which can be used to access key system |
53 |
|
|
statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
54 |
|
|
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, |
55 |
|
|
network traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
56 |
|
|
</p> |
57 |
|
|
<p> |
58 |
|
|
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |
59 |
|
|
2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, |
60 |
|
|
DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend |
61 |
|
|
this to include as many operating systems as possible. |
62 |
|
|
</p> |
63 |
|
|
<p> |
64 |
|
|
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
65 |
|
|
first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
66 |
|
|
curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
67 |
|
|
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style |
68 |
|
|
interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
69 |
|
|
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or |
70 |
|
|
anything else that can't easily make C function calls. |
71 |
|
|
Included with statgrab is a script to generate an |
72 |
|
|
<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
73 |
|
|
to use statgrab. |

|
This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor |
106 |
|
|
API change. More details have been added to the file |
107 |
|
|
system statistics, linux partition detection has been |
108 |
|
|
reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed. |
109 |
|
|
Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7. |
110 |
|
|
There are also manual pages for all the tools. |
111 |

112 |
|

<p> |
113 |
|
|
The duplex value in the network interface statistics has |
114 |
|
|
changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API. |
115 |
|
|
We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before, |
116 |
|
|
the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is |
117 |
|
|
defined. |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
190 |
|
|
We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
191 |
|
|
NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
192 |
|
|
that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
193 |
|
|
variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
194 |
|
|
suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
195 |
|
|
we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
196 |
|
|
values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
197 |
|
|
NEWS file. |

|
This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
208 |
|
|
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
209 |
|
|
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
210 |
|
|
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
211 |
|
|
for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
212 |
|
|
compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
213 |
|
|
</p> |
214 |
|
|
<p> |
215 |
|
|
The other main change in this release is a new function to |
216 |
|
|
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
217 |
|
|
documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
218 |
|
|
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
219 |
|
|
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
220 |
|
|
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
221 |
|
|
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |
222 |
|
|
</p> |
223 |
|
|
<p> |
224 |
|
|
Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
225 |
|
|
of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
226 |
|
|
bindings - they're now available as their own project called |
