Collection of performance monitoring tools for Linux
Description
The sysstat package contains sar, sadf, mpstat, iostat, pidstat, nfsiostat,
cifsiostat and sa tools for Linux.
The sar command collects and reports system activity information. This
information can be saved in a file in a binary format for future inspection. The
statistics reported by sar concern I/O transfer rates, paging activity,
process-related activities, interrupts, network activity, memory and swap space
utilization, CPU utilization, kernel activities and TTY statistics, among
others. Both UP and SMP machines are fully supported.
The sadf command may be used to display data collected by sar in various formats
(CSV, XML, etc.).
The iostat command reports CPU utilization and I/O statistics for disks.
The mpstat command reports global and per-processor statistics.
The pidstat command reports statistics for Linux tasks (processes).
The nfsiostat command reports I/O statistics for network file systems.
The cifsiostat command reports I/O statistics for CIFS file systems.
