It is not "taboo", it is just that nobody wants to spend his spare time
with something like this now.
And yes, as far as I know you have to keep writting our own stuff. But
maybe we can set up a wiki page where people can share their
FreeBSD specific stuff. Someone just has to be willing to invest some
time to add stuff. I have a little script which adds 24 values to
ganglia, and it's extensible (4 lines for wach value), e.g.:
---snip---
metrics=3D"${metrics} HD3_Temp"
HD3_Temp_value=3D"$(smartctl -A ad3 |awk '/Temperature_Celsius/ { print
$10 }')" HD3_Temp_type=3D"uint8"
HD3_Temp_unit=3D"Celsius"
metrics=3D"${metrics} logins"
logins_value=3D"$(who -q | grep users | cut -d ' ' -f 4)"
logins_type=3D"uint8"
logins_unit=3D"Users"
metrics=3D"${metrics} SwapIn"
SwapIn_value=3D"$(sysctl vm.stats.vm.v_swapin | cut -d ' ' -f 2)"
SwapIn_type=3D"uint32"
SwapIn_unit=3D"Units"
---snip---
I would add my script to such a wiki page, if some else is willing to
start such a page.
If someone not @FreeBSD.org wants to maintain such a page, feel free to
register in the wiki and tell me (or another committer), I will hand out
write permission then.
Bye,
Alexander.
