</h2> |

<p> |

+ |
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. |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
| 73 |
– |
We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
| 74 |
– |
NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
| 75 |
– |
that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
| 76 |
– |
variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
| 77 |
– |
suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
| 78 |
– |
we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
| 79 |
– |
values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
| 80 |
– |
NEWS file. |

This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
| 115 |
< |
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
| 116 |
< |
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
| 117 |
< |
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
| 96 |
< |
for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
| 97 |
< |
compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
| 114 |

This release fixes some minor build problems on Solaris |
| 115 |

with Sun's compiler, and on the Debian "armel" port. Also |
| 116 |
> |
a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with |
| 117 |

no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8. |

<p> |

The other main change in this release is a new function to |
| 124 |
< |
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
| 102 |
< |
documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
| 103 |
< |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
| 104 |
< |
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
| 105 |
< |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
| 106 |
< |
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |

<p> |
| 127 |
< |
Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
| 128 |
< |
of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
| 129 |
< |
bindings - they're now available as their own project called |

<a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>. |

This release fixes a regression introduced on OpenBSD in |

the last release - memory statistics were reported |

incorrectly. Some other minor changes have been made, see |

OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |

to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated |

The main focus of this release is adding support for |
| 168 |
< |
Solaris 6. We've also added Python bindings so you can use |
| 169 |
< |
libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras |
| 170 |
< |
directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the |
| 171 |
< |
code. |
| 167 |
> |
This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor |
| 168 |
> |
API change. More details have been added to the file |
| 169 |
> |
system statistics, linux partition detection has been |
| 170 |
> |
reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed. |
| 171 |
> |
Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7. |
| 172 |
> |
There are also manual pages for all the tools. |
| 173 |

</p> |
| 174 |

<p> |
| 175 |
+ |
The duplex value in the network interface statistics has |
| 176 |
+ |
changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API. |
| 177 |
+ |
We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before, |
| 178 |
+ |
the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is |
| 179 |
+ |
defined. |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
| 252 |
+ |
We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
| 253 |
+ |
NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
| 254 |
+ |
that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
| 255 |
+ |
variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
| 256 |
+ |
suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
| 257 |
+ |
we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
| 258 |
+ |
values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
| 259 |
+ |
NEWS file. |

<h2> |

<a id="what">What is libstatgrab?</a> |

</h2> |
| 276 |
|
<p> |
| 277 |
< |
libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform |
| 278 |
< |
access to statistics about the system on which it's run. |
| 279 |
< |
It's written in C and presents a selection of useful |
| 280 |
< |
interfaces which can be used to access key system |
| 281 |
< |
statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
| 282 |
< |
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, |
| 283 |
< |
network traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
| 277 |
> |
The other main change in this release is a new function to |
| 278 |
> |
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
| 279 |
> |
documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
| 280 |
> |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
| 281 |
> |
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
| 282 |
> |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
| 283 |
> |
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |
| 284 |
|
</p> |
| 285 |
|
<p> |
| 286 |
< |
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |
| 287 |
< |
2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, |
| 288 |
< |
DragonFly BSD 1.0, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend this to |
| 289 |
< |
include as many operating systems as possible. |
| 286 |
> |
Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
| 287 |
> |
of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
| 288 |
> |
bindings - they're now available as their own project called |
| 289 |
> |
<a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>. |

The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The |
| 296 |
< |
first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a |
| 297 |
< |
curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
| 285 |
< |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style |
| 286 |
< |
interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
| 287 |
< |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or |
| 288 |
< |
anything else that can't easily make C function calls. |
| 289 |
< |
Included with statgrab is a script to generate an |
| 290 |
< |
<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
| 291 |
< |
to use statgrab. |
| 295 |

pystatgrab, a new package containing a set of Python |
| 296 |

bindings, has been released. Check out its |
