Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi,

Has anyone thought about adding disk space (or, rather, file system mount point) statistics and network statistics to the iocStats module? Or, is there another module that can already do this? Or, is this a sensible idea?

This may only be relevant for soft IOCs. Also, it would be redundant for multiple soft IOCs to all be monitoring disk/network use if they are running on the same machine. I am thinking about a single 'system IOC' that could monitor things like:

Overall CPU load
Overall memory
Overall file system use (Size, %Used)
Overall network use (In/Out Bytes/s)

Not really aiming to replace dedicated system monitoring tools, but getting a few of these important parameters into EPICS can be useful.

I know iocStats is already providing overall CPU and memory use, but not network or disk space.

Cheers,
Matt
