+ What is libstatgrab? +

+

+ libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform + access to statistics about the system on which it's run. + It's written in C and presents a selection of useful + interfaces which can be used to access key system + statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU + usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, + network traffic, disk I/O, and more. +

+

+ The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux + 2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, + DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend + this to include as many operating systems as possible. +

+

+ The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The + first, saidar, provides a + curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the + system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style + interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This + extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or + anything else that can't easily make C function calls. + Included with statgrab is a script to generate an + MRTG configuration file + to use statgrab. +
