<a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a> |
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 |
< |
4.x/5.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems |
79 |
< |
as possible. |
80 |
< |
</p> |
81 |
< |
|
82 |
< |
<p> |
83 |
< |
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, |
84 |
< |
<a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to |
85 |
< |
viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a |
86 |
< |
sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
87 |
< |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything |
88 |
< |
else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is |
89 |
< |
a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> |
90 |
< |
configuration file to use statgrab. |

<a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a> |
94 |
< |

< |
<p> |
96 |
< |
The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our |
97 |
< |
primary download |
98 |
< |

For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files |
104 |
< |
contained within the archive. If you're using |
105 |
< |
<a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the |
106 |
< |
<a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a> |

port to install libstatgrab for you. |

< |
<a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a> |
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> |

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

added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |

etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |

OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |

Solaris 6. We've also added Python bindings so you can use |

libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras |

descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant |

speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along |
101 |

with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. Also, the |

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
215 |
> |
first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
216 |
> |
curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
217 |
> |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style |
218 |
> |
interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
219 |
> |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or |
220 |
> |
anything else that can't easily make C function calls. |
221 |
> |
Included with statgrab is a script to generate an |
222 |
> |
<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
223 |
> |
to use statgrab. |

The only online documentation we have at the moment is the |
262 |

manual pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably |
263 |

best to start with the overview manual page: |

<ul> |
266 |

<li> |
267 |

270 |
