48 | + | <p> |
49 | + | libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform |
50 | + | access to statistics about the system on which it's run. |
51 | + | It's written in C and presents a selection of useful |
52 | + | interfaces which can be used to access key system |
53 | + | statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
54 | + | usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, |
55 | + | network traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
56 | + | </p> |
57 | + | <p> |
58 | + | The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |
59 | + | 2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, |
60 | + | DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend |
61 | + | this to include as many operating systems as possible. |
62 | + | </p> |
63 | + | <p> |
64 | + | The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
65 | + | first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
66 | + | curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
67 | + | system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style |
68 | + | interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
69 | + | extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or |
70 | + | anything else that can't easily make C function calls. |
71 | + | Included with statgrab is a script to generate an |
72 | + | <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
73 | + | to use statgrab. |

88 | + | Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>. |
89 | + | </p> |
90 | + | <p> |
91 | + | This release fixes some minor build problems on Solaris |
92 | + | with Sun's compiler, and on the Debian "armel" port. Also |
93 | + | a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with |
94 | + | no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8. |

102 | + | </p> |
103 | + | <p> |
104 | + | This release fixes a regression introduced on OpenBSD in |
105 | + | the last release - memory statistics were reported |
106 | + | incorrectly. Some other minor changes have been made, see |
107 | + | the NEWS file for more information. |

115 | + | </p> |
116 | + | <p> |
117 | + | This release contains mainly bugfixes - see the NEWS file |
118 | + | in the distribution for a full list. It also brings a new |
119 | + | feature in saidar: colour support, which can be activated |
120 | + | with the -c runtime flag. |

128 | + | </p> |
129 | + | <p> |
130 | + | This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but |
131 | + | also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also |
132 | + | added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking |

141 | + | Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>. |
142 | + | </p> |
143 | + | <p> |
144 | + | This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor |
145 | + | API change. More details have been added to the file |
146 | + | system statistics, linux partition detection has been |
147 | + | reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed. |
148 | + | Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7. |
149 | + | There are also manual pages for all the tools. |
150 | + | </p> |
151 | + | <p> |
152 | + | The duplex value in the network interface statistics has |
153 | + | changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API. |
154 | + | We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before, |
155 | + | the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is |
156 | + | defined. |
