56 < <b>Monday 25 August 2003</b><br><br>
57 < We're pleased to announce a new release of libstatgrab.<br>
58 < You can download version 0.5 from
59 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.5.tar.gz">here</a>.
60 < This release provides both documentation and examples, which
61 < we hope will make the package more useable. Stay tuned for the
62 < next release with some useful tools.
63 < </p>
64 <
65 < <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a>
66 <
67 < <p>
68 < libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
69 < statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
70 < presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
71 < key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
72 < usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network
73 < traffic, disk I/O, and more.
74 < </p>
75 <
76 < <p>
77 < The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD
78 < 4.x/5.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems
79 < as possible.
80 < </p>
81 <
82 < <p>
83 < The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar,
84 < provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
85 < system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the
86 < statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of
87 < libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't
88 < easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to
89 < generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
90 < to use statgrab.
91 < </p>
92 <
93 < <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>
94 <
95 < <p>
96 < The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our
97 < primary download
98 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>.
99 < All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>.
100 < </p>
101 <
102 < <p>
103 < For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files
104 < contained within the archive. If you're using
105 < <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the
106 < <a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a>
107 < port to install libstatgrab for you.
108 < </p>
109 <
110 < <a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a>
111 <
112 < <p>
113 < The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
114 < pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with
115 < the overview manual page:
116 <
117 < <ul>
118 < <li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li>
119 < </ul>
120 < </p>
121 <
122 < <p>
123 < Then we have the manual pages for each function:
124 <
125 < <ul>
126 < <li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li>
127 < <li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li>
128 < <li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li>
129 < <li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li>
130 < <li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li>
131 < <li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li>
132 < <li><a href="get_page_stats.html">get_page_stats(3)</a></li>
