System Information Data Collector is a tool for collecting information from a HP-UX operating system and some HP hardware and software. System Information Data Collector is a free software and provided by the author AS IS under terms of the GNU General Public License.

Support engineers and system administrators can use System Information Data Collector to obtain a system configuration and troubleshoot problems. To get system information System Information Data Collector script calls specified modules. The modules of System Information Data Collector are located in the modules directory.

The following modules is available in this version:

- disks
Collects disk information (default).

- lvm
Collects LVM information (default).

- etc
Collects /etc configuration files (default).

- init
Collects /sbin/init.d and /sbin/rc? scripts (default).

- logs
Collects /var/adm/syslog file and dmesg output (default).

- net
Collects network information and network device information (default).

- sw
Collects software depot information (default).

- sysconf
Collects system configuration information (default).

- mcsg
Collects HP MC/Service Guard information. This module does not run by default.

- npar
Collects npar configuration information. This module does not run by default.

- dp
Collects HP Data Protector software information. This module does not run by default.

- default
Run all default modules.

The System Information Data Collector has been tested on several HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23 hosts. There was no problems detected with software or hardware during the time the script has been running. But it is not good idea to run script on production michines, because it has not been tested in all possible HP-UX environments.

Sys::Statistics::Linux is a Perl module to collect linux system statistics.

SYNOPSIS

use Sys::Statistics::Linux;

my $lxs = new Sys::Statistics::Linux;

$lxs->set(
SysInfo => 1,
CpuStats => 1,
ProcStats => 1,
MemStats => 1,
PgSwStats => 1,
NetStats => 1,
SockStats => 1,
DiskStats => 1,
DiskUsage => 1,
LoadAVG => 1,
FileStats => 1,
Processes => 1,
);

sleep 1;

my $stat = $lxs->get;

This module is the main package from the distribution Sys::Statistics::Linux and collects different linux system informations like processor workload, memory usage, network and disk statisitcs and other system informations. Refer to the documentation of the distribution modules to get more informations about all possible statistics and system informations.

TECHNICAL NOTE

This distribution collects statistics by the virtual /proc filesystem (procfs) and is developed on default vanilla kernels. It is tested on x86 hardware with the distributions SuSE (SuSE on s390 and s390x architecture as well), Red Hat, Debian, Asianux, Slackware and Mandrake on kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6 and should run on all linux kernels with a default vanilla kernel as well. It is possible that this module doesnt run on all distributions if the procfs is too much modified.

For example the linux kernel 2.4 can compiled with the option "CONFIG_BLK_STATS". It is possible to activate or deactivate the block statistics for devices with this option. These statistics doesnt exist in /proc/partitions if this option isnt activated. Since linux kernel 2.5 these statistics are in /proc/diskstats.

Further it is necessary to run it as a user with the authorization to read the /proc filesystem.

DELTAS

The options CpuStats, ProcStats, PgSwStats, NetStats, DiskStats and Processes are deltas, for this reason its necessary to initialize the statistics first, before the data be generated with get(). The statistics can be initialized with the methods new(), set() and init(). Each option that is set to TRUE (1) will be initialized by the call of new() or set(). The call of init() reinitialize all statistics that are set to 1. By the call of get() the initial statistics will be updated automatically. Please refer the METHOD section to get more information about the calls of new(), set() and get().

Another exigence is that you need to sleep for while - at least for one second - before you call get() if you want to get useful statistics. The options SysInfo, MemStats, SockStats, DiskUsage, LoadAVG and FileStats are no deltas. If you need only one of this informations you dont need to sleep before the call of get().

The get() function collects all requested informations and returns a hash reference with the statistics. The inital statistics will be updated. You can turn on and off options with set()
