SysUsage 3.0 Perl Tool in Thorough Rework
The SysUsage monitoring tool is available in a new version 3.0 and provides a completely reworked Web interface.
The perl program works on all UNIX-like platforms and shows details about CPU, memory, I/O, network, devices, files, processes and temperature sensors. Views show diagrams generated using rrdtool. Threshold notifications can be through e-mail or Nagios reports.
Developer Gilles Darold completely rewrote the code and created a new Web user interface. It also makes it easier to build RPM, Debian and Slackware packages from source code. Self-styled plug-ins in any programming language can be embedded.
SysUsage 3.0 is under GPLv3 and ready for download as source tarball from the project page. You can get a taste of the Web interface from a live demo by clicking the tabs across the top.
