sigar - System Info Gather And Reporter
The Sigar API provides a portable interface for gathering system
information such as:
- system memory, swap, cpu, load average, uptime
- per-process memory, cpu, credential info, state, arguments, environment,
open files
- file system detection and metrics
- network interface configuration info and metrics
The core API is implemented in pure C with bindings currently
implemented for Java, Perl and C#.
The following platforms are currently supported:
- Linux [x86] (2.2, 2.4, 2.6 kernels)
- Linux [amd64] (2.6 kernel)
- Win32 [x86] (NT 4.0 sp6, 2000 Pro/Server, 2003 Server, XP)
- Solaris [sparc] (2.6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
- Solaris [x86] (8, 9, 10)
- HP/UX [PA-RISC] (11)
- AIX [PowerPC] (4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3)
- FreeBSD [x86] (4.x, 5.x, 6.x)
- Mac OS X [PowerPC] (10.4)
- Mac OS X [x86] (10.4)
To test drive run the following command:
% java -jar sigar-bin/lib/sigar.jar
sigar> help
The shell and commands are implemented in Java, the source code is
located in examples/java.
Javadocs are located in docs/javadoc.
Perl and C# interfaces are still a work in progress.
To try the Perl examples:
% cd bindings/perl
% perl Makefile.PL && make
% perl -Mblib ../../examples/perl/ifconfig.pl
