- _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r opens a window and displays various system performance values
- collected from either local machine, or any remote machine that
- implements the _r_s_t_a_t version 3 protocol. When _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r starts, it makes
- a connection to the _r_s_t_a_t_d(1M) daemon on the target machine and
- periodically collects data from the daemon.
-
- Various performance data can be selected for display. Each selected
- performance value will be displayed within one sub-window in either of
- the two styles: bar chart or strip chart. In both formats, the y-axis
- represents the value collected. In the strip chart, the x-axis
- represents the time.
-
- The default option is to collect CPU usage data on local machine for
- every 2 seconds with window width equals to 120 seconds. The options can
- be set either from command line or by clicking the left or right mouse
- button.
-
- The average of performance values, if selected, are displayed as shaded
- areas in the strip chart format while in the bar chart format, the values
- are displayed in the rear bars.
-
- When resizing the window, _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r always re-adjusts the window size for
- the best possible shape to fit all the selected values in order to
- prevent the distortion of the graphics. If the width of the window is
- wide enough, _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r will display the hostname, sample time, averaging
- time and display window width in the window title.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- ----ssss _s_a_m_p Sets the sample time to _s_a_m_p seconds.
-
- ----aaaa _a_v_g Sets the averaging time to _a_v_g seconds. If this option is not
- supplied, _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r will not display the averaging value.
-
- ----hhhh _n_a_m_e Selects the host specified by _n_a_m_e as the target machine for
- performance data collection.
-
- ----dddd _w_i_n Sets the window width to _w_i_n seconds. This number divided by
- the sample time is equivalent to the number of samples appears
- in one sub-window. This option is meaningful only with the
- strip chart format.

-
-
- ----gggg _h_t Sets the sub-window height to _h_t pixels. The default height is
- 50 pixels.
-
- ----xxxx _x-_c_o_r_d Sets the X coordinate of the left lower corner of the window to
- _x-_c_o_r_d. Since _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r always re-adjust window size and
- location on a bad re-locating or resizing, a large x coordinate
- close to the left end of screen will automatically be reduced
- as needed.
-
- ----yyyy _y-_c_o_r_d Sets the y coordinate of the left lower corner of the window to
- _y-_c_o_r_d. If both X and Y coordinates are provided, _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r
- will automatically open a window without user intervention.
-
- ----rrrr _r_o_w Sets the number of rows of sub-windows to be _r_o_w. The default
- is two columns.
-
- ----mmmm selects the bar chart format instead of the default strip chart
- format.
-
- ----iiii _b_k,_c_b_g,_a_v_g,_t_x_t,_c_h_g
- These values specify the five colors used by the displays,
- separated by commas. The values are the color map indices of
- the background, chart background, averaged area, text and
- change-parameters colors. The defaults are 15, 12, 1, 4, and
- 10, respectively.
-
- ----vvvv _v_a_l_u_e Selects performance values to be displayed:
-
- aaaallllllll display all of the following values
- ccccppppuuuu percent of CPU being utilized
- ppppaaaaggggeeee paging activity in pages per second
- sssswwwwaaaapppp jobs swapped per second
- iiiinnnnttttrrrr number of device interrupts per second
- ddddiiiisssskkkk disk traffic in transfers per second
- ccccnnnnttttxxxxtttt number of context switches per second
- llllooooaaaadddd average of number of runnable jobs over the last
- minute times 1024
- ppppkkkkttttssss total of input and output network packets per second
- iiiinnnnppppkkkkttttssss input network packets per second
- oooouuuuttttppppkkkkttttssss output network packets per second
- ccccoooollllllllssss collisions per second detected on the network
- eeeerrrrrrrrssss errors per second when receiving packets
-
- When _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r is running, you can move the mouse cursor into the window,
- press and hold the right button to get the pop-up menu. This menu has
- the options: _c_p_u, _p_a_g_e, _s_w_a_p, _i_n_t_r, _d_i_s_k, _c_n_t_x_t, _l_o_a_d, _p_k_t_s, _i_n_p_k_t_s,
- _o_u_t_p_k_t_s, _c_o_l_l_s, _e_r_r_s, _d_i_s_p_l_a_y-_a_v_e_r_a_g_e, _c_h_a_n_g_e-_p_a_r_a_m, _s_t_y_l_e, and _e_x_i_t.
- The entries corresponding to each performance values specified in ----vvvv
- option are toggle switches. If you move the cursor to any one of those
- entries and releases the right button, _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r will toggle between
- displaying or removing the sub-window. If no parameters are specified
- when _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r is started, it will display the: _c_p_u usage by default.

-
- The _d_i_s_p_l_a_y-_a_v_e_r_a_g_e and _s_t_y_l_e selections are also toggle switches.
-
- When _c_h_a_n_g_e-_p_a_r_a_m_e_t_e_r entry is selected, a parameter changing panel will
- appear in the left lower corner of the window and the display activity is
- frozen although _s_y_s_m_e_t_e_r is still collecting data packets internally. If
- the window is too narrow, only a partial view of the panel will show up.
- You can fix this problem by reshaping the window.
-
- Inside the panel, there is a parameter selection location marked with
- three curly arrows. Moving the cursor to this area and click the left
- button, the panel will switch among the three changeable parameters:
- sample interval, averaging period, and window width.
-
- After moving the cursor to the up-pointed triangle under the ruler,
- pressing, holding and moving the left button along the ruler will change
- the selected parameter to the number indicated in the small window above
- the ruler. The ruler is exponentially increased to maximum of 7200
- seconds (2 hours).
-
- Once the change is made, moving the cursor to the location marked with _o_k
- and pressing the left button will update the values.
-
- EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEE
- The following command will automatically display the local system
- performance data on the top of the screen.
-
- sysmeter -x 50 -y 900 -g 50 -v all -a 120 -d 300 -s 5 -r 1

- The maximum number allowed to be displayed on the y-axis of a sub-window
- is 8192. If a value exceeds this limit, the display will be truncated to
- 8192.
