Hello everyone,
There's a new package in server:monitoring called `irqstat`, which I'd
like to get into Factory:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:monitoring/irqstat
It's a rather simple, but yet quite effective, python script for both
online monitoring and offline parsing of the content of the special
file /proc/interrupts.
In fact, especially on large servers, where that file may have
something like 550 lines and 224 columns (this is a real example, I'm
not making numbers up :-) ), it may be very annoying to tell, e.g., how
many IRQs a particular source is sending toward which CPUs using only
the usual tools. And this is exactly where irqstat helps.
There is more that can be done, and in fact, I'm also involved with
upstream development (yes, for the ones that I've seen the other
thread, I eventually did manage to get in touch with the maintainer!)
and have some plans. E.g., improving the documentation is quite high in
my TODO list for the project.
I'd be interested in any feedback, comment, question, whatever. :-)
Regards
