[ale] Collectl and other peformance tools

[Lightner, Jeff]

My apologies - I missed the mention of collectd.  It does look like that
might have similar capabilities.   Also it has links so may be a good
source for investigation.

Thanks.

 

We use Nagios for monitoring here.   I'm not so much looking for a
monitoring solution as something that can let you see system details on
the fly much the way top, vmstat and the others do.  The difference
being this appears to be something one can use to see disk, cpu, memory
and network all for the same interval.   This collectl seems to collect
data like sar and also has a way to see what is happening currently much
like sar will when you specify interval and iterations.

Not here.  I've heard of collectctl and collectd, but most of my
monitor/trend needs are handled quite nicely by Hobbit/Xymon.

 

Check out the project.  Active development is underway, and we should
have our next release out soon.

Is anyone using collectl for measuring performance on Linux systems?
Or alternatively does anyone know of better FOSS tools that could be
used on RHEL5?

 

Of course I know about sar, vmstat, top etc... but I'm wondering if
there is a good overall tool that measures all the various things and
might show it to us in real time.  (We used HP's Glance on HP-UX - I
know they have a version for Linux as well but that is $$$ - any tool
similar to Glance would be nice.)

 

One of our DBAs found mention of collectl and on looking at the site
below it looks like it might fit the bill.
