Re: logging system load
Found another useful tool for logging system load. It's called Munin and it's in ports as sysutils/munin-node sysutils/munin-main. It's nifty -- uses rrdtool to graph various things. Some of the plugins are shabby and need some work to get running but the system load plugin works fine out of the box. -- James. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I had to implement this for me, I would do it this way: echo `date +%Y-%m-%d %H:%M; sysctl -n vm.loadavg` But I had in mind easy parsing. If you do eye parsing then uptime is fine too:) Nikos ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks in advance! If top's output suits your needs, you could write a script that runs top in a loop and redirects to a file during the time in question. If you want longer-term monitoring, something like MRTG or Cacti might fit you better. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Only problem is on some systems it'll occasionally get confused and parse out the wrong values from the commands it runs (top and such) and end up logging crazy values such as 0% idle when it's really 100% idle. Despite that problem I'd recommend it -- it's a useful tool IMHO. -- James. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
