Dstat resource statisitics tool

[viking60]

Dstat is reporting live and combines all the other tools out there like vmstat, iostat, ifstat, netstat - into one.

You will find it in your repo so you can install it like you are used too.

To see a list of functions do a:

Code: Select all

dstat -h

In /usr/share/dstat/ you will find a set of python plugins and you can also add your own. You can take the helloworld file and alter it to our liking (try: dstat --hello).
To see a list over all the plugins you can use, do a:

Code: Select all

dstat --list

To check out how your resources are used you could try this one:

Code: Select all

dstat -c --top-cpu -d --top-bio --top-latency


To check the network:

Code: Select all

dstat -n --socket --tcp --udp


Memory:

Code: Select all

dstat -g -l -m -s --top-mem

Or simply just enter

Code: Select all

dstat

This is the default and is the same as:

Code: Select all

dstat -c -d -n -g -y

The combinations and possibilities are endles. Dstat is a live monitor and does not compete with Inxi that gives you a snapshot.


Useful tool.
