[opensuse] System Guard (or like) Reports
I was trying to watch a process to see how a particular application (one I'm writing in Java) is performing over time. In Windows NT (XP/2K/2K3) there is a tool (perfmon) I can use to track system memory, processor, disk I/O, and other items. I can also write values out to a log for future analysis. I know there is KDE system guard. I've looked and found a nice article from the now-defunct TuxMagazine (http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000153) but nothing more interesting. What can I use to measure system performance and write it out to some form of file. I'd like to import the file in a apreadsheet for example.

Get a proper Java profiler. I use and recommend YourKit (<http://www.yourkit.com/>).

Hi, You could also do it with the sysstat package, the latests version support i/o stats for a process. But depending on what you need, it might require a shell script / cron job. Hope it helps. Marcos David On 8/21/07, Randall R Schulz <rschulz@sonic.net> wrote:

Well, that appears to be a dead-end. I installed it but haven't received my temporary licence key. This product is - in my mind - over expensive for a home version. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
