Changes: 2013/03/31: Version 10.1.5 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * mpstat now takes into account every interrupt per processor so that their number adds up to the number displayed for CPU "all". * [Peter Schiffer]: systemd unit file couldn't be installed because PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG macro wasn't expanded in configure script. This is now fixed. * [Benno Schulenberg]: Fixed a small inconsistency in pidstat usage message. * Cosmetic fixes in pidstat manual page. * NLS updated (de, eo, fi, fr, ja, nb, nl, ru, uk, vi) * CREDITS file updated. 2013/03/08: Version 10.1.4 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * [Christophe Cerin]: pidstat now stops and displays its average stats when it receives SIGINT (crtl/c). * mpstat now stops and displays its average stats when it receives SIGINT (crtl/c). * sar now stops and displays its average stats when it receives SIGINT (crtl/c). * pidstat now displays task's UID for all tasks. * pidstat: -U option added. This option tells pidstat to display the username of the task instead of its UID. When this option is followed by a user name, then only tasks belonging to the specified user are displayed by pidstat. * pidstat manual page updated. * Now use sigaction() instead of signal() for signals handling to avoid portability problems. * FAQ updated. * NLS updated. 2012/12/23: Version 10.1.3 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * Changed network counters (used by sar -n {DEV | EDEV }) to unsigned long long to keep in sync with current kernels. WARNING: This breaks compatibility with older sar data files format for network statistics. * Changed IPv4 counters (used by sar -n { IP | EIP}) to unsigned long long to keep in sync with current kernels. WARNING: This breaks compatibility with older sar data files format for IPv4 statistics. * Changed IPv6 counters (used by sar -n { IP6 | EIP6}) to unsigned long long to keep in sync with current kernels. WARNING: This breaks compatibility with older sar data files format for IPv6 statistics. * [Peter Schiffer]: Added option -y to iostat. This option prevents iostat from displaying its first report with statistics since system boot. * [Peter Schiffer]: Increase NR_CPUS and NR_IRQS values. * [John Lau]: sadc didn't collect all its activities when it had to overwrite an old sysstat data file with some unknown activity formats. This is now fixed. * Now install sadc in $prefix/lib64 directory on 64 bit machines even if $prefix/lib directory also exists. * Fixed DTD document: If computer has run all day without restart, XML output file from sadf -x has no boot elements. * Remove heading spaces in softirq names displayed by mpstat for easier reading. * Fixed wrong command execution syntax in configure script. * Removed several unused definitions in some header files. * iostat manual page updated. * NLS updated. * CREDITS file updated. 2012/10/06: Version 10.1.2 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * New field added to sar -u and mpstat: %gnice (time spent running a niced guest). * New field added to sar -r: kbdirty (amount of memory waiting to get written back to disk). * [Peter Schiffer]: systemd support added. * [Peter Schiffer]: Sysstat init script updated to make it more conforming to LSB. * XML DTD document name is now tagged with a version number. * Fixed a fatal error when compiled with -Werror=format-security. * sar, sadf and mpstat manual pages updated. * DTD and XSD documents updated. * Cosmetic change in sadf -H output. * NLS updated. 2012/07/29: Version 10.1.1 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * Added option -[0-9]+ to sar to show data of that days ago. * [Peter Schiffer]: Persistent device names support added to sar and iostat (option -j). * [Peter Schiffer]: Make sysstat disk counters consistent with those from latest kernel (3.5). WARNING: This breaks compatibility with older sar data files format for disk activity. * [Peter Schiffer]: sar: Use /sys/dev/block/major:minor links to determine devices real name. * Part of 'sadf -H' output was written to stderr instead of stdout. This is now fixed. * WARNING: sadf: Option '-T' has been renamed into '-U', and option '-t' has been renamed into '-T'. * sadf: New option -t added. This option tells sadf to display the timestamps in the local time of the data file creator instead of UTC. The same option exists for sar. * [Peter Schiffer]: Various cosmetic changes in manual pages and usage messages displayed by sysstat commands. * FAQ updated. * NLS updated. * sar, sadf and iostat manual pages updated. 2012/05/16: Version 10.0.5 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * [Alain Chereau]: Options -g and -T added to iostat.

This is now fixed. * The number of jiffies spent by a CPU in guest mode given by the corresponding counter in /proc/stat may be slightly different from that included in the user counter. Take this into account when calculating current time interval value. * configure script updated: Added --disable-stripping option. Using this option tells configure to NOT strip object files. * FAQ updated. * sa1 manual page updated. * NLS updated. Serbian translation added. 2011/11/27: Version 10.0.3 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * sadf: New output format added: JSON (JavaScript Object Notation).

Option -r now only displays memory utilization. * Added %swpcad to sar -S (percentage of cached swap memory in relation to the amount of used swap space). * Added kbcommit and %commit to sar -r (amount and percentage of memory needed for current workload). * sadf -x now distinguishes between options -r and -R. * sadf command updated to take into account new fields (%guest, %swpcad, etc.) * [Ivana Varekova]: iostat now displays the total number of operations per second in the NFS report. * Fixed iostat so that %system (percentage of CPU utilization that occurred while executing at system level) also takes into account time spent to service interrupts and softirqs. * Added a missing header line for activities with multiple outputs displayed by sar (eg. sar -rR ...). * Makefile updated: There is now a dedicated target to install or uninstall manual pages. * Manual pages updated. * Code cleaned. * XSD and DTD documents updated. * isag script updated. 2008/06/22: Version 8.1.4 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * sar can now collect and display all CPU fields with its new option "-u ALL". sadf has also been updated to be able to display them. * mpstat can now display per-CPU interrupts statistics with its option "-I CPU". This was a feature available in sar that was removed in previous sysstat version. * mpstat uses now a separate option ("-I SUM") to display the total number of interrupts for each processor. * Option -A added to mpstat. This switch tells mpstat to display all possible activities. * NFS v4 support added to sar -n NFS(D). When both NFS v3 and NFS v4 are used, stats from NFS v3 and NFS v4 are added together [DEBIAN bug#434442]. * Code cleaned: mpstat, iostat and pidstat now use the common functions from rd_stats.c to read CPU stats from /proc/stat; Computing extended disk statistics (service time, etc.) is now done in one place (common function used by iostat, sar, sadf). * All sysstat commands are made consistent with how parameters are interpreted: "COMMAND <interval>" now generates a report continuously, "COMMAND <interval> 0" causes an error, "COMMAND 0" displays a report since system startup [DEBIAN bug#475707]. * Changed XML output for processes and context switches displayed by sadf -x to be consistent with output from sar. * mpstat and sar manual pages updated. * isag script updated. * FAQ updated. * DTD and XML Schema updated. * NLS updated. 2008/05/25: Version 8.1.3 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one! [0x2170] * sar, sadc and sadf heavily modified. It is now easier to add (or remove) activities since sar and sadc have been rewritten in a non-monolithic way with a generic design architecture. * Option -c removed from sar. Task creation and context switch activities are now merged and available with option -w. * sar no longer displays interrupts per processor statistics. This feature will be included in mpstat in next sysstat version. * Option -S added to sadc. This option replaces previous options -I or -d, and is used to select activities that should be collected and saved in file. It is even possible to select each activity collected by sadc. * Format of data files created by sar/sadc heavily modified. In some cases, it is now possible to add or remove activities while keeping a compatible format that can be read by a previous or future sysstat version. * sadf now only displays activities that have been explicitly selected. * sar now checks that devices displayed by option -d are whole devices (and not partitions) using sysstat.ioconf configuration file. If this file is not found in its default directory, then sysstat looks for it in current directory. * gettextize entire usage() messages so that translators have free scope to act. * DTD and XML Schema updated. * Manual pages updated. * Crontab samples updated. * FAQ updated. * Code cleaned. 2008/03/16: Version 8.1.2 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * [Ivana Varekova]: iostat now displays read and write operations per second in the NFS report. * [Tomas Mraz]: sadc now retries to write its buffers when the write() call has been interrupted by a signal. * Use setbuf() call instead of fflush() to indicate that data should not be buffered to stdout. * Option -h added to sadf. Used with options -d or -D, it indicates that all activities should be displayed horizontally on a single line of data. * sadf -d and sadf -D now display the list of fields for easier data reading. * sadf and iostat manual pages updated. * NLS updated: Chinese (simplified) translation added, other translations updated. 2008/02/10: Version 8.1.1 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one! [0x216f] * System activity data files now have extra header data that enable to identify which version of sysstat created them. * sadf -H now displays the version of sysstat used to create a system activity data file. * Machine architecture is now displayed in the reports header. sadf -x also displays machine architecture. * DTD and XML Schema documents updated. * The number of processors was not properly calculated on machines where a directory named cpuidle was present in the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory [GENTOO bug# 207886]. * Use __CPU_SETSIZE definition from <sched.h> instead of a static definition for the maximum number of CPUs (NR_CPUS). * Improved error messages displayed by sysstat's commands. * NLS updated: Finnish translation added, Dutch translation updated. * FAQ updated. * Code cleaned and documented. Linux-like style applied to code source. Large functions split into smaller ones. 2008/01/06: Version 8.0.4 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> orange.fr) * Removed a 'packed' attribute in pidstat.h that generated a warning with gcc 4.1.1. * Take account of all memory zone types when calculating pgscank, pgscand and pgsteal displayed by sar -B. * XML Schema added.

It also reads the number of running processes as unsigned long instead of unsigned int. * sadf - System activity data formatter command added. * Options -h and -H removed from sar. "sar -h" is replaced by "sadf -p", and "sar -H" is replaced by "sadf -d". Read sadf manual page, as its syntax is a bit different from that of sar. * Common code for sar and sadf moved to sa_common.c file. * pid_stats members don't need to be aligned since these stats are not written to daily data files. Packing them saves some memory on 32-bit architectures. * No longer indicate that -x and -X are possible options for sadc. They are only useful when used as options for sar, not sadc. * Minor buffer overrun fixed in iostat. * Updated CPU header for iostat and mpstat: CPU used while executing at the system level is displayed as '%system' by iostat (like sar) and as '%sys' by mpstat. * sadf manual page added. Other manual pages updated. * Updated the GPL notices (the address of the FSF was wrong). * Makefile updated. * NLS updated. * README, FAQ and CREDITS files updated. 2004/08/09: Version 5.0.6 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr) * The value for file-sz reported by sar -v was a number of free handles, and not a number of used ones! This is now fixed (and this is really now a number of _used_ file handles). * Now ask during config stage for the directory where sadc will be located. This may be useful for some systems where sadc needs to be installed in a specific location (e.g. on 64 bit s390 systems, the proper directory should be /usr/lib64/sa). * sa1 script updated: Use '-' to specify current daily data file instead of guessing its name using current date. * NLS updated: be consistent with GNU gettext standards. * iostat manual page updated. * FAQ updated. * Makefile updated. * CREDITS file updated. 2004/06/08: Version 5.0.5 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr) * Timestamp is no longer limited to 11 characters. This should avoid problems with somes locales (for example Japanese locale, where 'mojibake' used to be displayed by sar and mpstat sometimes). * Fixed a bug in sysstat RPM spec file (symlinks to sysstat script were wrong in /etc/rc.d directories). * sar now checks parameters for options -n, -s and -e more aggressively. * NLS updated: Japanese translation added. * Various typos fixed in several files (manual pages, README, etc.) * CREDITS file updated. 2004/05/20: Version 5.0.4 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr) * When trying to lock file, sadc now checks for both EWOULDBLOCK and EAGAIN error codes to be portable. * sar could sometimes display a line whose time stamp was greater than the limit set by -e option. This is no longer possible. * The sadc command in sysstat.sh script had to be enclosed in quotes to work when called via 'su -c'. * The sysstat.sh script was sending the output of sadc command to stdout instead of the standard system activity file. This is now fixed. * Outfile must now be explicitly set to "-" for sadc to use the standard system activity file. * FAQ updated. * iostat manual page updated. Typo fixed in sadc manual page. * Fixed the "Save picture" option of isag script. 2004/04/07: Version 5.0.3 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr) * iostat now reads the number of sectors in /proc/diskstats or from sysfs as 64-bit unsigned values. * iostat and mpstat now read CPU data and the number of interrupts in /proc/stat as 64-bit unsigned values. * sar uses "%u" instead of "%d" to read unsigned integer values _everywhere_. * sar and sadc are now a little bit more verbose when dealing with invalid activity files. * Network interface name size is now read from include file <net/if.h>. * FAQ polished up. * Slovak translation added. NLS updated. * Typo fixed in iostat manual page. * Makefile and CREDITS file updated. * isag upgraded to version 1.26 (isag package release 0.81.0). 2004/03/10: Version 5.0.2 - Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr) * iostat will _again_ look for statistics in /proc/partitions if available. Too many production servers are still using 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernels and iostat must be able to display extended stats also for them (/proc/partitions support was removed in sysstat version 4.1.3). So now, iostat gets its statistics from the following sources in that order: /proc/diskstats, sysfs, /proc/partitions and then /proc/stat. * statistics are now read by iostat and mpstat as unsigned long instead of int to avoid integer overflow. * iostat should now handle properly the case when the 'weighted number of milliseconds spent doing I/Os' (read in sysfs or /proc/{partitions,diskstats}) decreases with time. * iostat manual page updated. * Minor temporary file vulnerability fixed in isag command. * README, FAQ and CREDITS files updated. * Author's email changed. 2004/02/02: Version 5.0.1 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * -L option added to sadc. Enable sadc to lock its output file to prevent multiple instances from writing to it at once. * sa1 and sysstat scripts updated to take advantage of -L option. * Handle the case where, under very special circumstances, STDOUT may become unavailable, and sar, iostat and mpstat are no longer able to display anything. * sadc as called in sysstat script also uses -F option to force the creation of daily data file. * sar, sadc and mpstat manual pages updated. * Code cleaned. * FAQ and CREDITS files updated. 2003/11/09: Version 5.0.0 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * New fields added to mpstat: %irq (%time spent servicing interrupts) and %soft (%time spent servicing softirqs). * sar and iostat updated to take into account time spent servicing interrupts and softirqs when displaying percentage of time in system mode. * By default iostat now displays only statistics information for devices that are used by the system. You should now use the ALL keyword to tell iostat to display statistics for every device including those that have never been used. * The file version.h is now dynamically created. sysstat's version number is now only recorded in the Makefile. * sar manual page updated: beginning with kernels 2.4 and later, pgpgin and pgpgout statistics are in kilobytes and not in blocks (see linux-2.4/fs/proc/proc_misc.c and linux-2.6/mm/page_alloc.c). * iostat and mpstat manual pages updated. * Makefile updated: don't process NLS files if they are up-to-date. * sysstat's RPM spec file updated to enable clean, non-root builds. * NLS updated. * FAQ and CREDITS files updated. 2003/09/28: Version 4.1.7 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one!

Delete existing data files in /var/log/sa directory! [0x2160] * Fixed the way overflow conditions were handled by sar for interfaces counters. * On really big machines with 100 GB of memory or more, the values read by sadc in /proc/meminfo would get truncated and cause havoc in the calculations. This is now fixed. * iostat and sar can now read many more disk entries in /proc/stat if necessary. * Option "-x SUM" removed for sar. It was used to tell sar to display the total number of minor and major faults made by the system. Unfortunately, the calculation was tricky, and the results were uncertain... * NLS updated. Polish translation added. Also proper charset and encoding declarations added to fix msgfmt warnings and allow gettext to recode between various charsets (e.g. German translation will be shown properly both with LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1, and LANG=de_DE.UTF-8) * Code 'sanitization'. * Manual pages updated. * README and FAQ files updated. 2003/05/08: Version 4.1.3 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * iostat should now be fully 2.5/2.6 kernel compliant. * Disks arrays in iostat are now dynamically sized. * iostat: sysfs is now used in preference to /proc/stat if available. * iostat will no longer look for statistics in /proc/partitions. sysfs filesystem must now be available for iostat to get its extended stats (post 2.5 kernels). * iostat: Devices for which statistics are requested can now be entered on the command line even if option -x is not used. * Usage messages updated. * Manual pages updated. * Code cleaned (dk_drive_sum removed in iostat, long lines folded, functions split in smaller parts, etc.) * NLS updated. Romanian translation added. * isag upgraded to version 1.22. 2003/01/24: Version 4.1.2 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one! Delete existing data files in /var/log/sa directory! [0x215f] * sar -q now also displays load average for the past 15 minutes. * -P option added to sar. This option enables sar to display stats on a per processor basis. Options -U and '-I PROC' are deprecated. 'sar -U ALL' is replaced by 'sar -u -P ALL', and 'sar -I PROC' by 'sar -I SUM -P ALL'. * Fixed iowait value displayed by sar on SMP machines with pre 2.5 kernels. * When displaying CPU utilization on SMP machines, sar now recalculates the interval based on current CPU's tick count. * Always check that the number of CPUs has not increased when reading /proc/stat (sadc, mpstat). * sadc: Don't assume that the first line in /proc/net/sockstat concerns sockets. Check it! * Serial lines are ignored by sadc for every kind of kernels (UP, SMP...) if SMP_RACE is defined. SMP_RACE is no longer defined by default in RPM packages. * Code cleaned: Dead code removed in iostat.c, some lines longer than 80 chars folded, etc. * sar manual page updated. * FAQ updated. * NLS updated. 2003/01/02: Version 4.1.1 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one! Delete existing data files in /var/log/sa directory! [0x215e] * sar -u/-U, iostat and mpstat can now display time spent in I/O wait mode (with 2.5 kernels and above). * Values like -1 and -2 are no longer aliases for keywords ALL and XALL (sar -U, sar -I, mpstat -P). * Buglet fixed in iostat.h. * LC_CTYPE needs to be set, or it will emit messages with ?????? only on some locales, especially ja_JP.eucJP * sar, mpstat and iostat manual pages updated. * NLS updated. * CREDITS file updated. * Typo removed in FAQ file. 2002/11/13: Version 4.0.7 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Make data for timestamp 00:00:00 appear in one of the daily data files when sar/sadc rotates its output file. * Take out check for non SMP configuration when asking for mpstat -P. * sargon script updated. * FAQ updated. 2002/08/04: Version 4.0.6 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * mpstat now uses a bitmap of char instead of int to avoid endianness problems. As a consequence, mpstat should now work on PowerMac architectures. * CPU activity as displayed by mpstat -P for a given processor was in a wrong range on SMP machines (e.g. 0-50% for a dual processor box). * Missing bitmap initialization fixed in mpstat.c. * Configuration script updated. * FAQ updated. 2002/05/12: Version 4.0.5 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Average wait times and service times as displayed by iostat -x were wrong by a factor of 10. This is now fixed. * Linux RESTART messages must now be in the interval specified by -s/-e options to be displayed by sar. * Fixed a small bug that affected the timestamp for RESTART messages displayed by sar -h when option -t was used. * sar -H now displays its data in local time instead of UTC when option -t is used. * sargon shell script added. * Created a contrib directory, including sargon and isag commands. * NLS updated. * FAQ updated. * Makefile updated. * sar manual page updated. 2002/04/07: Version 4.0.4 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * iostat is now able to display I/O activity in kB/s with 2.4.x kernels (option -k). * Fixed a typo in 'sar -W -h' output. * Try to handle the case when some parameters in /proc/net/dev may overflow ULONG_MAX. * 'sar -d' now displays sectors per second instead of blocks per second. * iostat and sar manual pages updated. * Added a FAQ. * NLS updated: Russian translation added. 2002/01/27: Version 4.0.3 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * iostat now displays statistics in kB/s when option -x is used. * Configuration script updated. * sar and iostat manual pages updated. * umask also set in sa1 shell script. * Various sanity checks added. * Fixed potential segmentation faults that could happen with some locales. * KB (standing for kilobytes) replaced with kB in various places. * NLS updated: Italian translation added. 2001/09/22: Version 4.0.2 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * CPU usage, as displayed by iostat, mpstat and sar, should now be OK on machines where HZ <> 100 (e.g. IA64 architecture). * MAX_PART constant set to 256 in iostat.h. * "-H" database friendly option added to sar. * Better disks and network interfaces management (both may be registered dynamically). * Made options "-s" and "-e" work when option "-h" is used. * isag upgraded to version 1.17. * isag installation is now optional and can be chosen at config stage. * Now try to install man pages in ${PREFIX}/share/man instead of ${PREFIX}/man. * sa2 shell script updated. * Configuration script updated. * sar manual page updated. * NLS updated: Norwegian translation added. 2001/06/24: Version 4.0.1 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Files created by sa2 shell script were world writable. This is now fixed. * sa2.sh shell script updated: only remove sa?? and sar?? files. * Don't use PAGE_SHIFT since it no longer necessarily exists in <asm/page.h>. Compute it using page size instead. * Cosmetic changes for iostat. * NLS updated: Afrikaans translation added. 2001/04/08: Version 4.0.0 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Better network interfaces handling. Now take into account the fact that they may be registered/unregistered dynamically. * Changed formula used to display statistics in order to avoid overflow conditions. * Fixed a bug in iostat, where the %util value scaled incorrectly. * Better long file names management by iostat. * mpstat and sar no longer periodically display the title line when stdout has been redirected to a pipe or a file. * sa2.sh shell script updated: Now exec sadc. * Configuration script updated. * NLS updated. * Makefile updated. * Manual pages updated. * isag command updated. 2001/03/04: Version 3.3.6 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one! Delete existing data files in /var/log/sa directory! [0x215d] * New paging statistics added (sar -B). Kernel 2.4 only. * Load averages and queue length statistics added (option -q for sar). * Per device statistics added (option -d for sar). Kernel 2.4 only. * Better accuracy when computing average for some statistics. * Display all the contents of a daily data file when the count parameter is not given on the command line. * Check sar command line options more aggressively. * iostat no longer freezes if -c and -d options are used together. * Fixed a bug that prevented iostat from displaying more than an average of three devices with 2.4 kernels (a buffer was too small). * Check added to ensure that sar and sadc commands are consistent. * sar manual page updated. * NLS updated. * Code cleaned (use smaller subroutines). * Makefile updated. * isag command updates. 2001/02/11: Version 3.3.5 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * iostat command improved. Take now full advantage of Stephen Tweedie's I/O accounting patch to display extended statistics (option -x). * The default value for the count parameter of the sar command is now 1 (this is how sar works with other Un*xes...). A value of 0 will indicate that reports are to be generated continuously. * Code cleaned: Now always use 'double' numbers instead of the INT_PART, INT_VAL, DEC_PART and DEC_VAL macros. * Don't assume that jiffies are 100ths of a second. Use Linux HZ definition instead. * NLS updated (small fix). * sar and iostat manual pages updated. * isag (Interactive System Activity Graph) command added. * Makefile updated. 2001/01/26: Version 3.3.4 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Disk I/O statistics for the last device were counted twice when reading /proc/stat file with 2.4 kernels (sar -b). This is now fixed. * iostat command is no longer able to save its data to a file. In fact, iostat has never been supposed to work that way, and I have never really maintained this option. * iostat now also works with 2.4 kernels. It can handle the format of the /proc/stat file for both 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. * sar now reports statistics on allocated disk quotas entries instead of on used ones (sar -v). * Manual pages updated for sar and iostat. 2000/12/31: Version 3.3.3 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one! Delete existing data files in /var/log/sa directory! * Disk usage displayed by iostat on SMP machines was wrong. This is now fixed. * iostat command cleaned: All the statistics not implemented in the standard Linux kernel have been removed (tty, iowait...). * sar can now handle I/O and transfer rate statistics with both 2.2.x and 2.4.x Linux kernels (-b option). * Removed %inode-sz that was displayed by sar -v, since the file inode-max in /proc/sys/fs no longer exists in Linux 2.4. The new 2.4.x kernels now seem to be able to allocate inode structures dynamically, and to free them when necessary (see linux/fs/inode.c). * Removed statistics on highest in-used sockets. Relevant counters have disappeared from sockstat file in /proc/net for 2.4 kernels (sar -n SOCK). * Added statistics on IP datagram fragments (sar -n SOCK). Only available for 2.4 kernels. 2000/11/19: Version 3.3.2 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * sar now saves timestamps in its daily data files both in UST and in the user's timezone formats. WARNING: Daily data files format has changed, and is *not* compatible with the previous one! * sar now displays timestamps in locale time when reading data from its daily data files. -t option has been added to sar, to enable it to display timestamps in the original locale time of the data file creator. * Size of various buffers made larger. * Number of interrupts per second for 'all' CPU displayed by the mpstat command was wrong. This is now fixed. * Makefile updated. * Usage message updated. 2000/09/17: Version 3.3.1 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * mpstat command added. * Manual page added for mpstat. * Option -h added, enabling sar to display data from a daily data file in a format that can easily be handled with pattern processing commands like awk. * Manual page updated for sar. * iostat now writes KB (for kilobytes) instead of Kb, which could have been interpreted as kilobits... * Disk accounting patch for iostat removed. * NLS updated. 2000/08/06: Version 3.2.4 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Fixed a bug that prevented sar from reading its daily data files when they had been created using -I option. * Network statistics averages were sometimes wrong when reading data from a file. This is now fixed. * README-patch file updated. * Configuration script updated to deal with Debian directories. 2000/06/25: Version 3.2.3 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Configuration scripts updated. Can now print a help message. * Workaround for SMP race in Linux serial driver added. This workaround is enabled by default in RPM binary packages. * sar manual page updated. * Added iostat disk accounting patch against 2.2.16 linux kernel. * Removed a few typos in the comments of the source code. 2000/06/11: Version 3.2.2 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Now handle interrupts per processor better. Output improved. * Makefile modified to comply with redhat good packaging. * sysstat initialization script updated (don't su to root when we are already root). * sar now looks for sadc data collector in more places. * NLS is now enabled by default. * Silly bug in iostat disk accounting patch fixed. * Added iostat disk accounting patch against 2.2.15 linux kernel. 2000/04/02: Version 3.2 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * sadc no longer complains when daily data files have a null length. * Configuration script added (make config). * Statistics on sockets in use added. * Got rid of various limits (maximum number of serial lines, maximum number of network interfaces). * Better management of dynamic files contents. * Cosmetic change for timestamp display. * Manual pages updated. * Documentation added in ${PREFIX}/doc/sysstat-x.y. 2000/02/20: Version 3.1 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Fixed a bug that made average numbers wrong for some statistics when reading them from a system activity file. * Fixed a bug that prevented the user from retrieving some statistics when reading them from a system activity file. * sadc no longer core-dumps on UP machines with SMP support enabled in the kernel. * System activity files are now readable by everybody. * Average statistics since boot time are now printed when interval parameter is set to 0. If interval and count parameters are not set on the command line, sar selects requested activities from the current system activity daily data file. * sadc, sa1 and sa2 manual pages moved to chapter 8 instead of 1m. * iostat disk accounting patch modified to work with md drivers. 2000/01/30: Version 3.0 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * sadc - system activity data collector added. * sa1, sa2 and sysstat.sh shell scripts added. * Manual pages added for sadc, sa1, sa2. * sar heavily modified to use stats sent by sadc. * System activity data file now records system restarts. * Every records in the iostat and system activity data files have their own timestamp now. * sar and iostat largely modified to use structures when reading or writing data files. * Per-process statistics added. * System minor and major fault statistics added. * TTY device statistics added. * Memory and swap space utilization statistics added. * Per-processor interrupt statistics added. * Statistics for kernel parameters (dcache, inodes, superblocks, etc.) added. * Network device statistics added. * S_TIME_FORMAT environment variable added. * Meaning of -i option has changed for sar. * -d option removed for sar since it is no longer needed (we have sadc now). * sar now uses keywords such as ALL, SUM, etc. instead of numerical parameters. * iostat disk accounting patch improved. * 'page' field in /proc/stat is no longer used by iostat (was unreliable). * Workaround for buggy RTC (or kernels?) added. Used when the number of jiffies spent by the system in the idle task is decreasing in /proc/stat. * Manual pages updated. * NLS updated: Portuguese translation added. * Makefile updated. 1999/11/28: Version 2.2 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Option -d added to sar to enable it to be started as a daemon. * sar initialization script updated to use -d option. * Option -V added to sar and iostat (print version number and usage). * Fixed a bug that made CPU utilization displayed by iostat wrong on SMP machines. * Manual pages updated and moved to chapter 1 instead of 8. * sar '-m' option renamed to '-r'. * Display improved for iostat. * NLS updated: Spanish translation added. * Patch against kernel 2.2.13 added for iostat. 1999/10/24: Version 2.1 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * The sar and iostat commands can now work on non SMP-machines even if the kernel is compiled with SMP support enabled. * Fixed a bug that made the time displayed by iostat wrong when reading stats back from a file. * Added memory statistics: free/shared/buffer/cached pages (sar -m). * Option -h added to sar to print its header periodically. * Set unavailable fields to zero when writing iostat file. * sar now displays 'proc/s' instead of 'fork/s' since exec'ed processes are also taken into account. * Manual pages updated. * sysstat is now available in RPM format. * Code cleaned up and made safer. 1999/09/19: Version 2.0 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * iostat now displays logical block I/O stats for each IDE device, or global Kb/s rate for all the block devices. Stats in Kb/s for each block device are not available for standard kernels due to Linux poor disk accounting... Anyway a patch is provided in this version of 'sysstat' in the 'patch' directory to fix that. * System uptime is no longer read in /proc/uptime but computed from the cpu line in /proc/stat. * When stats are read from a file (option -f of iostat and sar), values are now computed in accordance with the interval given by the user on the command line. * Old '-o' option for iostat removed. Now iostat can save data into a file in a binary format and re-read them later (options '-o' and '-f') in the same way sar does. * Number of available processors now taken into account when retrieving CPU usage from /proc/stat. * Removed a bug that prevented 'sar -U' to work on SMP machines. * Fixed a bug that made per-CPU average usage wrong on SMP machines. * Use of option -U is now possible for sar when reading from a file even if the machine is not an SMP one. * Fixed a bug that prevented sar from re-reading stats saved in a file when -I or -U option had been used. * iostat modified to work on SMP machines. * Changed the formula used to display stats in order not to get numbers greater than UINT_MAX. * System name, release number and hostname are now saved in system activity files. * iostat now displays system name, release number and hostname when invoked. * Daily system activity file rotation added for sar. * Improved 64-bit system support. * CREDITS file added. * NLS updated: German translation added. * Manual pages updated. * Makefile updated: Do not call msgfmt if NLS is not enabled. 1999/06/25: Version 1.2 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * Better NLS support (date, time and numerical values, NLS enabled for sar, etc.). * System activity daily file structure changed: Is now independent of the locale and is more compact. * sar updated to support SMP machines (per CPU accounting). * Code cleaned, man pages updated... 1999/05/28: Version 1.1 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@wanadoo.fr> * NLS support added. French translation started but needs to be completed. * sar updated to support more than 16 interrupts (potential APIC interrupt sources). * A few typos removed (man pages, etc.). * Author email address updated :-) * Tested on kernel 2.2.5. 1999/03/06: Version 1.0 - Sebastien Godard <sebastien.godard@gazdefrance.com> * Initial Revision.
