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. |

<p> |
| 86 |

Version 0.12 of libstatgrab has been released.<br /> |
| 87 |
+ |
Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>. |
| 88 |

</p> |
| 89 |
+ |
<p> |
| 90 |
+ |
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. |
