56 < We're pleased to announce a new release of libstatgrab.<br>
57 < You can download version 0.5 from
58 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.5.tar.gz">here</a>.
59 < This release provides both documentation and examples, which
60 < we hope will make the package more useable. Stay tuned for the
61 < next release with some useful tools.
62 < </p>
63 <
64 < <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a>
65 <
66 < <p>
67 < libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
68 < statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
69 < presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
70 < key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
71 < usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network
72 < traffic, disk I/O, and more.
73 < </p>
74 <
75 < <p>
76 < The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD
77 < 4.x/5.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems
78 < as possible.
79 < </p>
80 <
81 < <p>
82 < The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar,
83 < provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
84 < system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the
85 < statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of
86 < libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't
87 < easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to
88 < generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
89 < to use statgrab.
90 < </p>
91 <
92 < <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>
93 <
94 < <p>
95 < The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our
96 < primary download
97 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>.
98 < All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>.
99 < </p>
100 <
101 < <p>
102 < For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files
103 < contained within the archive. If you're using
104 < <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the
105 < <a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a>
106 < port to install libstatgrab for you.
107 < </p>
108 <
109 < <a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a>
110 <
111 < <p>
112 < The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
113 < pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with
114 < the overview manual page:
115 <
116 < <ul>
117 < <li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li>
118 < </ul>
119 < </p>
120 <
121 < <p>
122 < Then we have the manual pages for each function:
123 <
124 < <ul>
125 < <li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li>
126 < <li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li>
127 < <li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li>
128 < <li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li>
129 < <li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li>
