<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. |

<p> |
90 |
< |
This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
91 |
< |
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
92 |
< |
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
93 |
< |
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
94 |
< |
for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
95 |
< |
compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
90 |
> |
This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor |
91 |
> |
API change. More details have been added to the file |
92 |
> |
system statistics, linux partition detection has been |
93 |
> |
reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed. |
94 |
> |
Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7. |
95 |
> |
There are also manual pages for all the tools. |
96 |
|
</p> |
97 |
|
<p> |
98 |
< |
The other main change in this release is a new function to |
99 |
< |
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
100 |
< |
documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
101 |
< |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
102 |
< |
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
69 |
< |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
70 |
< |
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |
98 |
> |
The duplex value in the network interface statistics has |
99 |
> |
changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API. |
100 |
> |
We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before, |
101 |
> |
the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is |
102 |
> |
defined. |
103 |
|
</p> |
72 |
– |
<p> |
73 |
– |
Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
74 |
– |
of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
75 |
– |
bindings - they're now available as their own project called |
76 |

This release brings new features and new platforms. We've |
127 |
< |
added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |
128 |
< |
etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |
129 |
< |
errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for |
130 |
< |
OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |
101 |
< |
to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated |
102 |
< |
privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. |
126 |

This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex |
127 |

settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and |
128 |

full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative |
129 |

filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were |
130 |

ignored. These have all been fixed. |

libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras |

This release brings support for HP-UX (version 11.11), and |

This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file |

descriptor leak was fixed. On Solaris some significant |

speed increases were made to the disk mapping code, along |
133 |

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

library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
135 |
< |
released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |
151 |

NetBSD 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been |
176 |
< |
optimised, and an initialise function has been added to |
177 |

allow programs to drop any extra privileges libstatgrab |
178 |
< |
needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
179 |
< |
and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. |
180 |
< |
Finally, saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |

It's written in C and presents a selection of useful |
253 |
< |
interfaces which can be used to access key system |
254 |
< |
statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
236 |
< |
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, |
237 |
< |
network traffic, disk I/O, and more. |

The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |
241 |
– |
2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, |
242 |
– |
DragonFly BSD 1.0, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend this to |
243 |
– |
include as many operating systems as possible. |
244 |

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
247 |
– |
first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
248 |
– |
curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
249 |
– |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style |
250 |
– |
interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
251 |
– |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or |
252 |
– |
anything else that can't easily make C function calls. |
253 |
– |
Included with statgrab is a script to generate an |
254 |
– |
<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
255 |
– |
to use statgrab. |

it. You can find it |
