<h2> |

<a id="what">What is libstatgrab?</a> |
46 |
</h2> |
47 |
<p> |
48 |
libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform |
49 |
access to statistics about the system on which it's run. |
50 |
It's written in C and presents a selection of useful |
51 |
interfaces which can be used to access key system |
52 |
statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
53 |
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, |
54 |
network traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
55 |
</p> |
56 |
<p> |
57 |
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |
58 |
2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, |
59 |
DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend |
60 |
this to include as many operating systems as possible. |
61 |
</p> |
62 |
<p> |
63 |
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
64 |
first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
65 |
curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
66 |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style |
67 |
interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
68 |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or |
69 |
anything else that can't easily make C function calls. |
70 |
Included with statgrab is a script to generate an |
71 |
<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
72 |
to use statgrab. |

This release adds support for FreeBSD 9 and other systems |
86 |
using utmpx. Also on FreeBSD it fixes an issue with large |
87 |
quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically |
88 |
getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS |
89 |
file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU |

This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor |

API change. More details have been added to the file |
163 |
system statistics, linux partition detection has been |
164 |
reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed. |
165 |
Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7. |
166 |
There are also manual pages for all the tools. |

<p> |
169 |
The duplex value in the network interface statistics has |
170 |
changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API. |
171 |
We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before, |
172 |
the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is |
173 |
defined. |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
246 |
We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
247 |
NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
248 |
that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
249 |
variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
250 |
suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
251 |
we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
252 |
values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
253 |
NEWS file. |

Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>. |
261 |
</p> |
262 |
<p> |
263 |
This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
264 |
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
265 |
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
266 |
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
267 |
for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
268 |
compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
269 |
</p> |
270 |
<p> |
271 |
The other main change in this release is a new function to |
272 |
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
273 |
documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
274 |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
275 |
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
276 |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
277 |
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |
278 |
</p> |
279 |
<p> |
280 |
Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
281 |
of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
282 |
bindings - they're now available as their own project called |
283 |
<a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>. |
