Xmeter displays a periodically updating histogram of the system
|
|
statistics gathered by rstat(3) for the specified hosts. Meters can
|
|
be displayed in a vertical, horizontal or rectangular arrangement. As
|
|
statistics range between 4 user defineable levels (OK, WARN, ERROR or
|
|
FATAL), the background, foreground, highlight, border and internal
|
|
border colors, and the background bitmap of each meter can be changed.
|
|
|
|
Xmeter uses the StripChart widget of the Athena Widget Set to graph
|
|
each statistic. StripCharts automatically scale the graph as the
|
|
value varies. Each time a graph is updated, xmeter will examine the
|
|
current value of the statistic and the current scale. As the number
|
|
of scale lines increases above wlevel and elevel the background colors
|
|
and bitmaps of each meter are modified as specified. The current
|
|
scale value can be examined by clicking any mouse button while the
|
|
mouse pointer is in the StripChart. If the host is down the time it's
|
|
been down will also be displayed.
|
|
|
|
Each meter has its own label displaying the host name and statistics
|
|
name. The statistic being graphed may be modified while xmeter is
|
|
running by moving the mouse pointer into the label part of a meter,
|
|
clicking any mouse button, and sliding down to the desired stat. This
|
|
menu also contains a quit option to exit xmeter.
