[IDEA] htop or nmon - dharmabm - 25th Mar, 2014 05:23 PM
It would be nice to have htop or nmon (or both) included by default in future releases, particularly for those of us doing frequent clean installs for testing. I keep forgetting to install it until i need it, and then I have to start all over again!

do it a bit differently
from clean XBIAN customise according your needs (local install). then create .img backup. for your use. and with each restore you will have your environment.

I just run a script which has all of the modules I need - nmon etc and run it on all development installs.
I agree it would be nice to have, but where do you stop!!
@mk01 How about creating an xbian package for monitoring tools containing the most popular tools - nmon, iptraf, wavemon etc..
RE: [IDEA] htop or nmon - mk01 - 26th Mar, 2014 03:07 PM
yes, virtual package. just was thinking about it.
make a list and I will create the CONTROL file.
RE: [IDEA] htop or nmon - dharmabm - 27th Mar, 2014 05:53 PM
maybe add mlocate to the list? pretty indispensable when working from the shell.

as CurlyMo created xbian-package-development, now xbian-package-administration can be created.
just consolidate the packages list and let me know.
RE: [IDEA] htop or nmon - IriDium - 5th Apr, 2014 11:50 PM
General:
nmon - General monitoring tool nmon
htop - General monitoring tool htop
Network:
ntop - General monitoring tool ntop
(* Requires 13M of data *)
iptraf - Real time network statistics iptraf
wavemon - WiFi monitoring tool wavemon
tcpdump – Network Packet Analyzer tcpdump
iftop - "Top" for Network iftop
DISK:
iotop – Monitor disk I/O iotop
*(Would be nice to have but requires I/O accounting enabled in the kernel) *
Also include package sysstat which includes:
- sar: collects and reports system activity information;
- iostat: reports CPU utilization and disk I/O statistics;
- mpstat: reports global and per-processor statistics; (*Not needed - obviously*)
- pidstat: reports statistics for Linux tasks (processes);
- sadf: displays data collected by sar in various formats;
- nfsiostat: reports I/O statistics for network filesystems;
- cifsiostat: reports I/O statistics for CIFS filesystems.
** I would err away from mlocate as it builts it's own index - which can become quite large **

@IriDium
ok, please remind me again if I don't deliver within a week or so.
or event better, look at for instance Curly's DEVELOPMENT package, or simpler xbian-package-x and create new one with these as "template". deal ?
