I'm just afraid by reading your email that the situation doesn't
seem to have evolved since the discussion regarding the SoC, maybe
even more taboo, and that I'll have to keep writing my own
software and drivers to get the data I want in the future if I
want to get this data under FreeBSD.. Is it the case ?
It is not "taboo", it is just that nobody wants to spend his spare
time
with something like this now.
And yes, as far as I know you have to keep writting our own stuff.
But maybe we can set up a wiki page where people can share their
FreeBSD specific stuff. Someone just has to be willing to invest
some time to add stuff. I have a little script which adds 24 values
to ganglia, and it's extensible (4 lines for wach value), e.g.:
---snip---
metrics="${metrics} HD3_Temp"
HD3_Temp_value="$(smartctl -A ad3 |awk '/Temperature_Celsius/
{ print $10 }')" HD3_Temp_type="uint8"
HD3_Temp_unit="Celsius"
metrics="${metrics} logins"
logins_value="$(who -q | grep users | cut -d ' ' -f 4)"
logins_type="uint8"
logins_unit="Users"
metrics="${metrics} SwapIn"
SwapIn_value="$(sysctl vm.stats.vm.v_swapin | cut -d ' ' -f 2)"
SwapIn_type="uint32"
SwapIn_unit="Units"
---snip---
I would add my script to such a wiki page, if some else is willing
to start such a page.
<sarcasm >
such a script would indeed be much nicer than a well crafted
framework for the job.
</sarcasm>
Indeed...
If someone not @FreeBSD.org wants to maintain such a page, feel
free to
register in the wiki and tell me (or another committer), I will
hand out
write permission then.
I hope people spend their time on thinking what was bad with the
sensor framework last time and improve on that, instead.
Go and read in the archives about it, maybe you understand why
there's not much motivation to spend spare time on such a topic.
Everyone should have the right to come back with a subject, if work is
put into it. Or is the stanza that once there has been a heated
discussion about a topic, there is no possibility to come back to it,
maybe making it better a seccond time? And no, I have no plans to do
so... I am just a bit astonished about the attitude...
