Go-kstat provides a Go API for the kstat kernel statistics system
|
|
on Solaris, Illumos, OmniOS, and other Solaris derived systems. For
|
|
general information on kstats, see the kstat(1) and kstat(3kstat)
|
|
manpages. For more documentation on the details of the package, see
|
|
doc.go, kstat_solaris.go, types_solaris_amd64.go, and raw_solaris.go.
|
|
|
|
This package is quite young, so the API may well change as I and
|
|
other people gain experience with using it.
|
|
|
|
The API supports access to 'named' kstat statistics, IO statistics,
|
|
and the most common and useful sorts of 'raw' kstat statistics
|
|
(unix:0:sysinfo, unix:0:vminfo, unix:0:var, and mnt:*:mntinfo).
|
|
Other raw kstat statistics are not explicitly supported, but the
|
|
API provides some escape hatches for access to custom raw
|
|
statistics.
|
|
|
|
This is a cgo-based package so it can't be cross compiled like a regular
|
|
Go package. It may also have bugs with memory management, since it
|
|
interacts with the Solaris kstat library and holds references to memory
|
|
that's been dynamically allocated in C.
|
|
|
|
See kstat-godoc.txt for a text dump of the full godoc for the package.
|
|
Unfortunately Go tool limitations appear to make it impossible to see
|
|
full package documentat on anything except a Solaris machine (including
|
|
https://godoc.org/, sadly).
|
|
|
|
Bug reports and other contributions are highly welcome.
