Re: System tools

If you are looking for something graphical KDE System Guard might fit the bill.

From a console top is a classic.

Re: System tools

Have you looked at the "standard" unix stuff?
man sar
man iostat
man vmstat

Re: System tools

I guess you're rather looking for an accounting/stats collecting app like sar but you may also want to look at gkrellm2 ( http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/gkrellm.html ).

It's more of a desktop widget with skins and all but it does not only look cool, it's also great to keep an eye on what a server is doing in real time, and it has a daemon part that runs on remote nodes to allow monitoring of several systems.

Re: System tools

If its just report you probably have sar up and running on your system .. try the following

ls -l /var/log/sa/

I fthis return files like sar11 or some such then click on you terminal to get a big screen and type

# cat /var/log/sa/sar11 | less

This is the log accumalated information collected by crontab

# sar -A

Will return information present system statistics.

to output to file have a try at

# sar -b 1 10 -o tempo.dat

and to display

# sar -f tempo.dat

a man sar is long but usefull

Its not to hard to import those sar into spreadsheet to display as grahics.

Attaching some data collection scripts.

This was written for hpux but can be adapted relatively easily to collect data into a file.
