Fedora 11: dstat Security Update

December 4, 2009

Summary

Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat, netstat and ifstat.

Dstat overcomes some of their limitations and adds some extra features,

more counters and flexibility. Dstat is handy for monitoring systems

during performance tuning tests, benchmarks or troubleshooting.

Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources instantly, you

can eg. compare disk usage in combination with interrupts from your

IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers directly

with the disk throughput (in the same interval).

Dstat gives you detailed selective information in columns and clearly

indicates in what magnitude and unit the output is displayed. Less

confusion, less mistakes.
