Package: dstat Version: 0.5.10-1 Severity: wishlist
"Dstat is a versatile replacement for vmstat, iostat and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of the limitations and adds some extra features." One important feature is missing compared to vmstat, however: vmstat has the ability to not only print reports once per second, but also over longer intervals, which is very useful if you want to measure long-term disk throughput. dstat also has an option to print a report less frequent, but it only does a random sampling (i.e. "vmstat 7" outputs a report for 7 secodns, every 7 seconds, while dstat outputs a report for the last second, every 7 seconds, which is much less useful, as the variance is very high). So here is my wish: dstat would be even _more_ useful if it would average, just as vmstat does :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-rc2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dstat depends on: ii python 2.3.5-1 An interactive high-level object-o -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
