sysstat

A collection of performance monitoring tools (of which iostat and sar for I/O, CPU, memory and more ) for GNU/Linux OS. Let you monitore ponctually by hand as well as automatically via cron or systemd services.

What is sysstat?

Sysstat's main features:

Includes four groups of monitoring tools (sar / sadc / sadf, iostat / tapestat / nfsiostat / cifsiostat, mpstat, pidstat) for global system performance analysis. Can monitor a huge number of different metrics:

  1. Input / Output and transfer rate statistics (global, per device, per partition, per network filesystem and per Linux task / PID)
  2. CPU statistics (global, per CPU and per Linux task / PID), including support for virtualization architectures
  3. Memory, hugepages and swap space utilization statistics
  4. Virtual memory, paging and fault statistics
  5. Per-task (per-PID) memory and page fault statistics
  6. Global CPU and page fault statistics
  7. Process creation activity
  8. Interrupt statistics
  9. Extensive network statistics: network interface activity; traffic statistics for IP, TCP, ICMP and UDP protocols (incl. IPv6-related) based on SNMPv2 standards, Fibre Channel
  10. NFS server and client activity.
  11. Socket statistics.
  12. Run queue and system load statistics.
  13. Kernel internal tables utilization statistics.
  14. System and per Linux task switching activity.
  15. Swapping statistics.
  16. TTY device activity.
  17. Power management statistics (instantaneous and average CPU clock frequency, fans speed, devices temperature, voltage inputs, USB devices plugged into the system).
  18. Filesystems utilization (inodes and blocks).
  19. Tape drives statistics.
  • Average statistics values are calculated over the sampling period
  • Most system statistics can be saved in a file for future inspection
  • Configurable data history
  • On the fly detection of new devices
  • Support for UP and SMP machines
  • Support for hotplug and tickless CPUs
  • 32- or 64-bit architectures
  • Needs very little CPU time to run (written in C).
  • Export in various different formats (CSV, XML, JSON, etc.)
  • Smart color output
  • Internationalization support
  • Many programs available on the internet to use sysstat's data to make graphs (isag is included in sysstat)
