DESCRIPTION

The statgrab library provides a cross-platform interface to get several system statistics. System statistics aren't standardised, so the statgrab library tries to choose the most important values over all supported operating systems. This implies that some values might not be available on every OS while some specific values are missing when there are no counterparts on any other OS.

The libstatgrab is organised in components, each for interrelated statistics.

component	statistics
cpu	sg_cpu_stats, sg_cpu_percents
disk	sg_disk_io_stats, sg_fs_stats
load	sg_load_stats
mem	sg_mem_stats
network	sg_network_io_stats, sg_network_iface_stats
os	sg_host_info
page	sg_page_stats
process	sg_process_stats, sg_process_count
swap	sg_swap_stats
user	sg_user_stats

The library was originally written to support the i-scream central monitoring system, but has since become a standalone package. It has been ported to work on Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and Cygwin.
