- 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 supported and tested platforms - includes FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, - DragonFly BSD, HP-UX and AIX. We are always happy to - accept patches to extend support to other operating - systems. -

- 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. -

- Download it from one of our mirrors. -

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

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

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