.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Vmstat
|
|
reports certain kernel statistics kept about process, virtual memory,
|
|
disk, trap and cpu activity.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Repeat the display
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
times.
|
|
The first display is for the time since a reboot and each subsequent
|
|
report is for the time period since the last display.
|
|
If no repeat
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
is specified, and
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
is specified, the default is infinity, otherwise the default is one.
|
|
.\" .It Fl f
|
|
.\" Report on the number
|
|
.\" .Xr fork 2
|
|
.\" and
|
|
.\" .Xr vfork 2
|
|
.\" system calls since system startup, and the number of pages of virtual memory
|
|
.\" involved in each.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Report on the number of interrupts taken by each device since system
|
|
startup.
|
|
.It Fl M
|
|
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified
|
|
.Ar core
|
|
instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /dev/kmem .
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified
|
|
.Ar system
|
|
instead of the default
|
|
.Pa /kernel .
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Report on the usage of kernel dynamic memory listed first by size of
|
|
allocation and then by type of usage.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Change the maximum number of disks to display from the default of 2.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Specify which types of devices to display. There are three different
|
|
categories of devices:

.Pp
|
|
The user must specify at least one device type, and may specify at most
|
|
one device type from each category. Multiple device types in a single
|
|
device type statement must be separated by commas.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any number of
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
arguments may be specified on the command line. All
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
arguments are ORed together to form a matching expression against which
|
|
all devices in the system are compared. Any device that fully matches
|
|
any
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
argument will be included in the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
output, up to three devices, or the maximum number of devices specified
|
|
by the user.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Display the contents of the

structure, giving the total number of several kinds of paging related
|
|
events which have occurred since system startup.
|
|
.\" .It Fl t
|
|
.\" Report on the number of page in and page reclaims since system startup,

.\" and the amount of time required by each.

Pause

|

seconds between each display.
|
|
If no repeat
|
|
.Ar wait
|
|
interval is specified, the default is 1 second.
|
|
.It Fl z
|
|
Report on memory used by the kernel zone allocator, by zone.

|

.El
|
|
.It memory
|
|
Information about the usage of virtual and real memory.
|
|
Virtual pages (reported in units of 1024 bytes) are considered active if
|
|
they belong to processes which are running or have run in the last 20
|
|
seconds.

|
|
.It sr
|
|
pages scanned by clock algorithm, per-second
|
|
.El
|
|
.It disks
|
|
Disk operations per second (this field is system dependent).
|
|
Typically paging will be split across the available drives.
|
|
The header of the field is the first two characters of the disk name and
|
|
the unit number.
|
|
If more than three disk drives are configured in the system,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays only the first three drives, unless the user specifies the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
argument to increase the number of drives displayed. This will probably
|
|
cause the display to exceed 80 columns, however.
|
|
To force
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to display specific drives, their names may be supplied on the command line.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
defaults to show disks first, and then various other random devices in the
|
|
system to add up to three devices, if there are that many devices in the
|
|
system. If devices are specified on the command line, or if a device type
|
|
matching pattern is specified (see above),
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will only display the given devices or the devices matching the pattern,
|
|
and will not randomly select other devices in the system.
|

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command:
|
|
.Dl vmstat -w 5
|
|
will print what the system is doing every five
|
|
seconds; this is a good choice of printing interval since this is how often
|
|
some of the statistics are sampled in the system.
|
|
Others vary every second and running the output for a while will make it
|
|
apparent which are recomputed every second.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The command:
|
|
.Dl vmstat -p da -p cd -w 1
|
|
will tell vmstat to select the first three direct access or CDROM devices
|
|
and display statistics on those devices, as well as other systems
|
|
statistics every second.
