No configuration, just upload your log file and retrieve the generated graphs as png. More information at : http://www.michenux.net/dstat-graph-using-vmstax-154.html Best regards Hi,

Collectl would refer to the dstat output as 'brief' mode - great for a high level view of what's going on but then you can also choose 'verbose' mode which shows a lot more data elements for each type of component you're looking at and far too much to fit on one line. Then there's 'detail' format which breaks down the verbose data by individual CPU, network or disk. Collectl also handles InfiniBand and Lustre data, something critical to HPC environments which was the initial target market. The collectl-utils rpm provides a tool called colplot, which is basically a web-based front-end to gnuplot. It has intimate knowledge of the types of data collectl collects, so you click a few check boxes and next thing you know some pretty cool plots show up. http://collectl.sourceforge.net/ and http://collectl-utils.sourceforge.net/ -mark Good article – similar to collectl but different. dstat reminds me a lot of collectl which does similar kinds of output but also provides provided a lot more detail, at least from a cursory read of the dstat website.

Adding "set grid" to the scripts would make the graphs look nicer. Nice and practical article. Adding “set grid” to the scripts would make the graphs look nicer.
