47 | < | We're pleased to announce a new release of libstatgrab.<br> |
48 | < | You can download version 0.5 from |
49 | < | <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.5.tar.gz">here</a>. |
50 | < | This release provides both documentation and examples, which |

55 | < | <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a> |
56 | < | |
57 | < | <p> |
58 | < | libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to |
59 | < | statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and |
60 | < | presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access |
61 | < | key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
62 | < | usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network |
63 | < | traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
64 | < | </p> |
65 | < | |
66 | < | <p> |
67 | < | The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |
68 | < | 4.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems as |
69 | < | possible. |
70 | < | </p> |
71 | < | |
72 | < | <p> |
73 | < | The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
74 | < | provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
75 | < | system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
76 | < | statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
77 | < | libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |
78 | < | easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
79 | < | generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
80 | < | to use statgrab. |
81 | < | </p> |
82 | < | |
83 | < | <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a> |
84 | < | |
85 | < | <p> |
86 | < | The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our |
87 | < | primary download |
88 | < | <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>. |
89 | < | All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>. |
90 | < | </p> |
91 | < | |
92 | < | <p> |
93 | < | For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files |
94 | < | contained within the archive. If you're using |
95 | < | <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the |
96 | < | <a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a> |
97 | < | port to install libstatgrab for you. |

100 | < | <a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a> |
101 | < | |
102 | < | <p> |
103 | < | The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual |
104 | < | pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with |
105 | < | the overview manual page: |
106 | < | |
107 | < | <ul> |
108 | < | <li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li> |
109 | < | </ul> |
110 | < | </p> |
111 | < | |
112 | < | <p> |
113 | < | Then we have the manual pages for each function: |
114 | < | |
115 | < | <ul> |
116 | < | <li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li> |
117 | < | <li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li> |
118 | < | <li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li> |
119 | < | <li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li> |
120 | < | <li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li> |
121 | < | <li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li> |
122 | < | <li><a href="get_page_stats.html">get_page_stats(3)</a></li> |
123 | < | <li><a href="get_process_stats.html">get_process_stats(3)</a></li> |

57 | > | </p> |
58 | > | <p> |
59 | > | This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
60 | > | of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
61 | > | this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
62 | > | we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
63 | > | for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
64 | > | compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
65 | > | </p> |
66 | > | <p> |
67 | > | The other main change in this release is a new function to |
68 | > | provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
69 | > | documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
70 | > | this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
71 | > | process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
72 | > | error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
73 | > | see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |
74 | > | </p> |
75 | > | <p> |
76 | > | Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
77 | > | of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
78 | > | bindings - they're now available as their own project called |
79 | > | <a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>. |
