3 stats \- display graphs of system activity
15 displays a rolling graph of various statistics collected by the operating
16 system and updated once per second.
17 The statistics may be from a remote
21 whose graphs will appear in adjacent columns.
22 The columns are labeled by the machine names and the number
23 of processors on the machine if it is a multiprocessor.
25 The right mouse button presents a menu to enable and disable the display
26 of various statistics; by default,
28 begins by showing the load average on the executing machine.
33 choose the initial set to display:
37 percentage battery life remaining.
40 number of process context switches per second.
43 draw memory allocation size in bytes.
47 total number of packets sent and received per second.
51 number of packets sent and received per second, displayed as separate graphs.
54 number of page faults per second.
57 number of interrupts per second.
60 system load, % time in idle, and % time in interrupts.
61 The last two are averaged over all processors on a
65 kernel memory allocation size in bytes.
68 (default) system load average.
69 The load is computed as a running average of
70 the number of processes ready to run, multiplied by 1000.
73 total pages of active memory.
74 The graph displays the fraction
75 of the machine's total memory in use.
78 number of packets sent and received per second, and total number of errors, displayed as separate graphs.
81 number of translation lookaside buffer flushes per second.
84 total pages of reclaimable memory.
85 The graph displays the fraction
86 of the machine's total memory in use.
89 number of system calls per second.
92 number of translation lookaside buffer misses per second.
95 number of valid pages on the swap device.
96 The swap is displayed as a
97 fraction of the number of swap pages configured by the machine.
100 display the signal strength detected by the 802.11b wireless ether card; the value
101 is usually below 50% unless the receiver is in the same room as the transmitter, so
102 a midrange value represents a strong signal.
105 current temperature reported by the cpu.
108 The graphs are plotted with time on the horizontal axis.
109 The vertical axes range from 0 to 1000*sleepsecs,
110 multiplied by the number of processors on the machine
112 The only exceptions are
115 which display fractions of the total available,
116 system load, which displays a number between 0 and 1000,
117 idle and intr, which display percentages and the Ethernet error count,
118 which goes from 0 to 10..
119 If the value of the parameter is too large for the visible range, its value is shown
120 in decimal in the upper left corner of the graph.
122 Upper-case options control details of the display.
123 All graphs are affected; there is no mechanism to
124 affect only one graph.
127 Set the number of seconds between samples to
129 (default one second).
131 may be a floating-point number.
134 Sets a scale factor for the displays. A value of 2, for example,
135 means that the highest value plotted will be twice as large as the default.
138 Plot all graphs with logarithmic
141 The graph is plotted so the maximum value that would be displayed on
142 a linear graph is 2/3 of the way up the
144 axis and the total range of the graph is a factor of 1000; thus the
146 origin is 1/100 of the default maximum value and the top of the graph is
147 10 times the default maximum.
150 If the display is large enough to show them,
151 place value markers along the
154 Since one set of markers serves for all machines across the display,
155 the values in the markers disregard scaling factors due to multiple processors
156 on the machines. On a graph for a multiprocessor,
157 the displayed values will be larger
158 than the markers indicate.
159 The markers appear along the right, and the markers
160 show values appropriate to the rightmost machine; this only
161 matters for graphs such as memory that have machine-specific
