Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat, nfsstat and
|
||
|
|
ifstat. 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.
