     Re: [snips-users] new hostmon-client.linux ??

Russel:

 I think that's
the primary place where you're going to see differences,

All in hostmon-client.linux, I'm sure.


Since this isn't my machine, I'm monitoring it as a favour to someone, and while I'd like to do a good job I'm not going to spend a half day f^&*king with the monitor. Still, I don't want it to produce wrong numbers, so I'm hoping that someone has adjusted hostmon-client.linux to fit.

One main problem is that it is not built to handle the multiple interfaces in netstat. I really don't like the way netstat is done anyway - reporting ethernet errors as a percent of transmitted packets is a mistake... really it should be something like, "Errors since I last looked" and alarm when it's above zero.

netstat -i -c looks like this:

In the df department, you need to cover all of the different kinds of filesystems you need to say:

df -k -t ext2 -t ext3 -t xfs -t reiserfs -t jfs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

vmstat looks like:

procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu----
 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in    cs us sy id wa
