56 | < | <b>Monday 25 August 2003</b><br><br> |
57 | < | We're pleased to announce a new release of libstatgrab.<br> |
58 | < | You can download version 0.5 from |
59 | < | <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.5.tar.gz">here</a>. |
60 | < | This release provides both documentation and examples, which |
61 | < | we hope will make the package more useable. Stay tuned for the |
62 | < | next release with some useful tools. |
63 | < | </p> |

65 | < | <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. |
91 | < | </p> |
92 | < | |
93 | < | <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a> |
94 | < | |
95 | < | <p> |
96 | < | The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our |
97 | < | primary download |
98 | < | <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>. |
99 | < | All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>. |

101 | < | |
102 | < | <p> |
103 | < | 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> |
107 | < | port to install libstatgrab for you. |

110 | < | <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> |
128 | < | <li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li> |
129 | < | <li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li> |
130 | < | <li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li> |
131 | < | <li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li> |
