| Dstat, written in Python, is a versatile replacement for vmstat, |
| iostat, netstat and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of their limitations |
| and adds some extra features, more counters and flexibility. Dstat is |
| handy for monitoring systems during performance tuning tests, |
| benchmarks or troubleshooting. |
| Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources in real-time, |
| you can e.g. compare disk utilization in combination with interrupts |
| from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers |
| directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval). |
| |
| Note that to get proper output, your terminal size should be known by |
| the termios subsystem. This can be done by running the 'resize' |
| utility of busybox. |
