RE: monitoring load average
You're right, I think that "vmstat 5 2" and getting the last line could give you a good result. Another solution (in the same direction) could be: Execute with cron 3 tasks: 1.- Each five seconds: vmstat 5 2 > /tmp/output.last.five.seconds 2.- Each 60 seconds: vmstat 60 2 > /tmp/output.last.sixty.seconds 3.- Each 300 seconds: vmstat 300 2 > /tmp/output.last.five.mins and modify netstat_statd plugin to make it returns those three values. -Mensaje original- De: Russell Coker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: miércoles, 08 de enero de 2003 7:08 Para: Javier; 'Debian ISP' Asunto: Re: monitoring load average On Tue, 7 Jan 2003 20:15, Javier wrote: > Perhaps you can try with vmstat.

Thanks for the suggestion. However I still need to have a separate script running vmstat as it's results are wildly inaccurate if run as "vmstat", you need to run "vmstat 2" to get reliable results (and the first line won't be the one you want). I was thinking of having something like vmstat constantly running and periodically writing it's results to a file. Another issue is that I don't want a load spike to trigger an alert. So I want to have an average over say a minute "vmstat 60" (which makes it impossible to run vmstat from the script, reading from an output file from a daemon process is the only real option). -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: monitoring load average
vmstat is great, but just one word of advice... I had some machines running AOLserver (damn good, but i found better and faster than him), and it had about 1024+ threads, and everything - ps, top, vmstat , which read the processes information in /proc , skewed a lot the information, because it took a lot of CPU (in the kernel, not in userspace). I haven't checked if that's changed with recent kernels (my last test was in 2.4.4, afaik, and in 2.5 there is a lot done about threads), but whatever you use to monitor the system, be sure that it doesn't affect it too much.

RE: monitoring load average
Hi, Perhaps you can try with vmstat. It gives you the CPU idle time, so you can easily program an script that returns (100 - idle time). Use netsaint_statd plugin to return to netsaint server what your script returns. I hope this helps. Un saludo. Javier. -Mensaje original- De: Russell Coker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviado el: martes, 07 de enero de 2003 17:50 Para: Debian ISP CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: monitoring load average I am involved with setting up NetSaint monitoring of a medium size network. One problem I have is determining suitable ways of monitoring system load. A machine with 100% usage of a resource by server processes will have request queues that grow indefinately (and performance will suck). So the load average doesn't seem particularly useful. If a machine has a sustained load average of 3.0 from from CPU operations and it has two CPUs then that indicates a problem. If it is from disk operations and there are four disks in a RAID-5 array then it's equal to the number of non-parity stripes and the load is probably at the limit of what it can handle. If it's half from CPU and half from disk then it shouldn't be a problem at all. I think that perhaps a better way would be to have one test measure on the amount of CPU time used (the sum of the "user" and "system" percentages of the CPU usage as reported by top would do - nice time doesn't matter). Then I could have another test measure the disk utilization in terms of the await, svctm, or %util fields as reported by iostat.
