[Devil-linux-software] [fmII] sysstat 7.1.6 released (Default branch)

[<no...@fr...>]

This email is to inform you about the release of version '7.1.6' of
'sysstat' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and other useful information can
be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/sysstat/

The changes in this release are as follows:
New virtual memory paging metrics have been added to sar (option -B).
Options -x and -X have been removed from sar (use the pidstat(1)
command instead.) NR_CPUS has been increased to 16384 so that sysstat
can be used on very large systems. A bug in sadc.c where it was using
a hardcoded 256 char buffer to store lines read from /proc/interrupts
has been fixed. sar has been updated to avoid overflow when computing
some average values. 

Release focus:
5 - Major feature enhancements

Project description:
The sysstat package contains the sar, sadf, iostat, and mpstat
commands for Linux. The sar command collects and reports system
activity information. The information collected by sar 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 activites, interrupts, network activity, memory and
swap space utilization, CPU utilization, kernel activities, and TTY
statistics, among others. The sadf command may be used to display
data collected by sar in various formats (XML, database-friendly,
etc.). The iostat command reports CPU statistics and I/O statistics
for tty devices and disks. The pidstat command reports statistics for
Linux tasks (processes). The mpstat command reports global and
per-processor statistics. Both UP and SMP machines are fully
supported. Sysstat has support for hotplug CPUs and for National
Language (NLS).
