<h3>Sunday 21 March 2004</h3> |
| 36 |
< |
<p> |
| 37 |
< |
pystatgrab, a new package containing a set of Python bindings, |
| 38 |
< |
has been released. Check out it's <a href="/pystatgrab/">project |
| 39 |
< |
page</a>. |
| 40 |
< |
</p> |
| 41 |
< |
|

< |
<h3>Wednesday 10 March 2004</h3> |
| 43 |
< |
<p> |
| 44 |
< |
Version 0.9 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
| 45 |
< |
Download it |
| 46 |
< |
<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.9.tar.gz">here</a>. |
| 47 |
< |
</p> |
| 48 |
< |
<p> |
| 49 |
< |
This release brings new features and new platforms. We've added |
| 50 |
< |
information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along |
| 51 |
< |
with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o errors, and |
| 52 |
< |
collisions. Support has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly |
| 53 |
< |
BSD. Finally some work has been done to reduce the platforms on |
| 54 |
< |
which libstatgrab needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for |
| 55 |
< |
more information. |

<h3>Wednesday 11 February 2004</h3> |
| 59 |
< |
<p> |
| 60 |
< |
Version 0.8.2 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
| 61 |
< |
Download it |
| 62 |
< |
<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>. |
| 63 |
< |
</p> |
| 64 |
< |
<p> |
| 65 |
< |
The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6. |
| 66 |
< |
We've also added Python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly |
| 67 |
< |
from Python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a |
| 68 |
< |
few bits of the code. |
| 69 |

<h3>Wednesday 21 January 2004</h3> |
| 72 |
< |
<p> |
| 73 |
< |
Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
| 74 |
< |
Download it |
| 75 |
< |
<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>. |
| 76 |
< |
</p> |
| 77 |
< |
<p> |
| 78 |
< |
This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was |
| 79 |
< |
fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the |
| 80 |
< |
disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms. |
| 81 |
< |
Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now |
| 82 |
< |
released under the LGPL instead of the GPL. |
| 83 |

<h3>Tuesday 6 January 2004</h3> |
| 86 |
< |
<p> |
| 87 |
< |
Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
| 88 |
< |
Download it |
| 89 |
< |
<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>. |
| 90 |
< |
</p> |
| 91 |
< |
<p> |
| 92 |
< |
This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin. |
| 93 |
< |
On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather |
| 94 |
< |
than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations |
| 95 |
< |
in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it |
| 96 |
< |
quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some |
| 97 |
< |
operating systems. |

<h3>Wednesday 22 October 2003</h3> |
| 101 |
< |
<p> |
| 102 |
< |
Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br/> |
| 103 |
< |
Download it |
| 104 |
< |
<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>. |
| 105 |
< |
</p> |
| 106 |
< |
<p> |
| 107 |
< |
The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD |
| 108 |
< |
1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise |
| 109 |
< |
function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges |
| 110 |
< |
libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
| 111 |
< |
and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally, |
| 112 |
< |
saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the |
| 113 |
< |
statistics. |
| 114 |

<h2><a name="what">What is libstatgrab?</a></h2> |
| 160 |
< |
|
| 161 |
< |
<p> |
| 162 |
< |
libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to |
| 163 |
< |
statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and |
| 164 |
< |
presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access |
| 165 |
< |
key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
| 166 |
< |
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network |
| 167 |
< |
traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
| 168 |
< |
</p> |
| 169 |
< |
|
| 170 |
< |
<p> |
| 171 |
< |
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.2/2.4/2.6, |
| 172 |
< |
FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, DragonFly BSD 1.0, and |
| 173 |
< |
Cygwin. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating |
| 174 |
< |
systems as possible. |
| 175 |
< |
</p> |
| 176 |
< |
|
| 177 |
< |
<p> |
| 178 |
< |
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, |
| 179 |
< |
<a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to |
| 180 |
< |
viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a |
| 181 |
< |
sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
| 182 |
< |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything |
| 183 |
< |
else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is |
| 184 |
< |
a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> |
| 185 |
< |
configuration file to use statgrab. |
| 186 |

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

| 199 |
< |
contained within the archive. If you're using |

<h2><a name="documentation">Documentation</a></h2> |
| 206 |
< |
|
| 207 |
< |
<p> |
| 208 |
< |
The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual |
| 209 |
< |
pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with |
| 210 |
< |
the overview manual page: |
| 211 |
< |
</p> |
| 212 |
< |
|
| 213 |
< |
<ul> |
| 214 |

| 215 |
< |
</ul> |
| 216 |
< |
|
| 217 |
< |
<p> |
| 218 |
< |
Then we have the manual pages for each function: |
| 219 |
< |
</p> |
| 220 |
< |
|
| 221 |
< |
<ul> |
| 222 |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
| 69 |

We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
| 70 |
> |
NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
| 71 |

that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
| 72 |

variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
| 73 |

suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
| 74 |
> |
we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
| 75 |
> |
values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
| 76 |

NEWS file. |

This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
| 87 |
> |
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
| 88 |
> |
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
| 89 |
> |
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
| 90 |

for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
| 91 |

compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
| 92 |

</p> |
| 93 |
> |
<p> |
| 94 |

The other main change in this release is a new function to |
| 95 |
> |
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
| 96 |

documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
| 97 |
> |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
| 98 |

process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
| 99 |
> |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
| 100 |
> |
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |

This release brings new features and new platforms. We've |
| 125 |

added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |
| 126 |

etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |
| 127 |

errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for |
| 128 |

OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |
| 129 |

to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated |

privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. |

There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in |

<p> |

libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform |
| 182 |
> |
access to statistics about the system on which it's run. |
| 183 |
> |
It's written in C and presents a selection of useful |
| 184 |
> |
interfaces which can be used to access key system |
| 185 |
> |
statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
| 186 |
> |
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, |
| 187 |
> |
network traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
| 188 |
> |
</p> |
| 189 |
> |
<p> |
| 190 |
> |
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |
| 191 |
> |
2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, |
| 192 |
> |
DragonFly BSD 1.0, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend this to |
| 193 |
> |
include as many operating systems as possible. |
| 194 |
> |
</p> |
| 195 |
> |
<p> |
| 196 |
> |
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
| 197 |
> |
first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
| 198 |
> |
curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
| 199 |
> |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style |
| 200 |
> |
interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
| 201 |
> |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or |
| 202 |
> |
anything else that can't easily make C function calls. |
| 203 |
> |
Included with statgrab is a script to generate an |
| 204 |
> |
<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
| 205 |
> |
to use statgrab. |
