66 |
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
<p> |
68 |
|
|
libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to |
69 |
|
|
statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and |
70 |
|
|
presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access |
71 |
|
|
key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
72 |
|
|
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network |
73 |
|
|
traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
74 |
|
|
</p> |
75 |
|
|
|
76 |
|
|
<p> |
77 |
|
|
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |
78 |
tdb |
1.4 |
4.x/5.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems |
79 |
|
|
as possible. |
80 |
tdb |

</p> |
81 |
|
|
|
82 |
|
|
<p> |
83 |
|
|
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
84 |
|
|
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
85 |
|
|
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
86 |
|
|
statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
87 |
tdb |
1.2 |
libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |
88 |
|
|
easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
89 |
|
|
generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
90 |
|
|
to use statgrab. |

111 |

|
112 |
|
|
<p> |
113 |
|
|
The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual |
114 |
|
|
pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with |
115 |
|
|
the overview manual page: |
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
|
|
<ul> |
118 |
|
|
<li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li> |
119 |
|
|
</ul> |
120 |
|
|
</p> |
121 |
|
|
|
122 |
|
|
<p> |
123 |
|
|
Then we have the manual pages for each function: |
124 |
|
|
|
125 |
|
|
<ul> |
126 |
|
|
<li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li> |
127 |
|
|
<li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li> |
128 |
|
|
<li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li> |
129 |
|
|
<li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li> |
130 |
|
|
<li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li> |
131 |
|
|
<li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li> |
132 |

|
<li><a href="get_page_stats.html">get_page_stats(3)</a></li> |
