<p> |

+ |
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 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 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. |

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. |

This release brings new features and new platforms. We've |
151 |
– |
added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |
152 |
– |
etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |
153 |
– |
errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for |
154 |
– |
OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |
155 |
– |
to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated |
156 |
– |
privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. |

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

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