Data is gathered by the script poller.php which runs as a cronjob and the interface to cacti graphs is available via apache webserver. Maybe you want to restart apache? apachectl (re)start or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 (re)start this is for apache 2.2.x Kind regards Disclaimer: http://www.ose.nl/email ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

You can monitor the numbers from the ps(1) output per jail, see the other answers in this thread. However, you should be aware of the fact that processes share memory, even when running in different jails. For example, most processes are linked against the standard C library (libc), and its size is included in the size of every process, as reported by ps(1) -- but the code of the library is only loaded once into memory, i.e. it is shared between processes, independent of jails.

RE: Cacti & FreeBSD Jail CPU & RAM monitoring
Hi,
Based on answers of my first post, I wrote a small perl script in order to find
out the CPU and MEMORY used by each jail.
Here it is:
--
- jls.ps
--
#!/usr/bin/perl
@jails = `jls`;
$title = shift @jails;
chomp $title;
print $title . "\t\t%CPU\t%MEM\n";
foreach (@jails)
{
my ($jid) = /\s+(\S+)\s/;
@jexec = `jexec $jid ps -afxu`;
@mem = map {/\S+\s+\S+\s+\S+\s+(\S+)\s/} @jexec;
shift @mem;
$tot_mem = 0;
foreach (@mem) { $tot_mem = $tot_mem + $_; }
@cpu = map {/\S+\s+\S+\s+(\S+)\s/} @jexec;
shift @cpu;
$tot_cpu = 0;
foreach (@cpu) { $tot_cpu = $tot_cpu + $_; }
chomp $_;
print $_ . "\t$tot_cpu\t$tot_mem\n";
}

I still haven't connected anything to cacti yet, but I wanted to share that. I
think it can be quite useful.

Hi,
Just like for a "ps -u", but it's here the sum of the percentages of all the
processes owned by the jail. The same for %CPU.
This might not be very accurate, but it gives a very good idea of which jails
are using a lot of memory or cpu.
