Dstat overcomes some of their limitations and adds some extra features, more counters and flexibility. Dstat is handy for monitoring systems during performance tuning tests, benchmarks or troubleshooting. - -Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources instantly, you can eg. -compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your IDE controller, or -compare the network bandwidth numbers directly with the disk throughput (in -the same interval). - -Dstat gives you detailed selective information in columns and clearly indicates -in what magnitude and unit the output is displayed. Less confusion, less -mistakes. - -Dstat is unique in letting you aggregate block device throughput for a certain -diskset or networkset, ie. you can see the throughput for all the block devices -that make up a single filesystem or storage system. - -You can write your own dstat plugins to monitor whatever you like in just a few -minutes based on provided examples and a little bit of Python knowledge. - -Dstat's output by default is designed for being interpreted by humans in -real-time, however the new CSV output allows you to store CSV output in detail -to a file to be imported later into Gnumeric or Excel to generate graphs. -- cgit v1.2.3
