<a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a> |
76 |
< |
|
77 |
< |
<p> |
78 |
< |
libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to |
79 |
< |
statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and |
80 |
< |
presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access |
81 |
< |
key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
82 |
< |
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network |
83 |
< |
traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
84 |
< |
</p> |
85 |
< |
|
86 |
< |
<p> |
87 |
< |
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |
88 |
< |
4.x/5.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems |
89 |
< |
as possible. |
90 |
< |
</p> |
91 |
< |
|
92 |
< |
<p> |
93 |
< |
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, |
94 |
< |
<a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to |
95 |
< |
viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a |
96 |
< |
sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This |
97 |
< |
extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything |
98 |
< |
else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is |
99 |
< |
a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> |
100 |
< |
configuration file to use statgrab. |

< |
<a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a> |
104 |
< |
|
105 |
< |
<p> |
106 |
< |
The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our |
107 |
< |
primary download |
108 |
< |
<a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>. |
109 |
< |
All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>. |

|
112 |
< |
<p> |
113 |
< |
For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files |
114 |
< |
contained within the archive. If you're using |
115 |
< |
<a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the |
116 |
< |
<a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a> |
117 |
< |
port to install libstatgrab for you. |

< |
<a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a> |
121 |
< |
|
122 |
< |
<p> |
123 |
< |
The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual |
124 |
< |
pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with |
125 |
< |
the overview manual page: |
126 |
< |
|
127 |
< |
<ul> |
128 |
< |
<li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li> |
129 |
< |
</ul> |
130 |
< |
</p> |
131 |
< |
|
132 |
< |
<p> |
133 |
< |
Then we have the manual pages for each function: |
134 |
< |
|
135 |
< |
<ul> |
136 |
< |
<li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li> |

system statistics, linux partition detection has been |

The duplex value in the network interface statistics has |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |

We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
325 |

NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
326 |
> |
that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
327 |

variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
328 |
> |
suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
329 |
> |
we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
330 |
> |
values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |
331 |

NEWS file. |

This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
342 |
> |
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
343 |
> |
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
344 |
> |
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
345 |
> |
for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
346 |
> |
compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
347 |
> |
</p> |
348 |
> |
<p> |
349 |
> |
The other main change in this release is a new function to |
350 |
> |
provide full details on currently running processes. See the |
351 |
> |
documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with |
352 |
> |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
353 |
> |
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
354 |
> |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
355 |
> |
see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |
356 |
> |
</p> |
357 |
> |
<p> |
358 |
> |
Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots |
359 |
> |
of areas of the code. This release does not include the python |
360 |
> |
bindings - they're now available as their own project called |
361 |
