Subject: SPLUNK: the new GREP
Date: 28 Sep 2005 14:00:23 GMT
SPLUNK is a free Linux/Solaris server that lets you search all your
log files. Here's the url and access code:
http://www.splunk.com?ac=kilroy
It's helpful for anyone who manages unix boxes to search and
troubleshoot all of their log files, including syslog, Apache, Jboss,
mysql, oracle, router data, etc. It parses and indexes in real time.
If you have to deal with log files and/or troubleshooting, it's worth
checking out. Up until now sysadmins were forced to use grep and ad
hoc scripts.
GREP is totally fine for small, simple, local files, but grep doesn't
work on 20GB of log files, across a dozen servers; doesn't group
multiline log messages together; doesn't unify timestamps across
files; doesn't automatically find related log events; doesn't show
histograms of log events; doesn't search gigabytes in seconds; doesn't
have a cool ajax web interface similar to google. You get the idea.
Both are free, though -- they do have that in common.

Splunk: A delicate blend of space-age engineering, amish durability,
and flowery marketing.

Subject: Announce: Sysprof 1.0
Date: 28 Sep 2005 14:00:27 GMT
* What is it?
==========================
Sysprof is a sampling system-wide CPU profiler for Linux.
Sysprof uses a Linux kernel module to profile the entire system, not
just an individual application.
Of course, sysprof handles threads and shared libraries, and
applications do not have to be recompiled or instrumented. In fact
they don't even have to be restarted.
Just insert the kernel module and start sysprof.
* Features:
======================
- Profiles all running processes, not just a single application
- Call graph support showing time spent in each branch of the call tree
- Has a simple graphical interface
- Profiles can be loaded and saved
- Easy to use: Just insert the kernel module and start sysprof
- Supports Fedora debuginfo packages
* Sysprof 1.0
==========================
This is the first release of sysprof with a 1.x version number. I am
very excited about that.
New features since Sysprof 0.91:
- support for x86-64, thanks to Mike Frysinger
- better reporting of time spent in the kernel
Please report bugs as well as success or failure stories to
sandmann@daimi au dk
* Where can I get it?
============================================
Home page:
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/
Source code:
http://www.daimi.au.dk/~sandmann/sysprof/sysprof-1.0.tar.gz
Sysprof requires
- Linux 2.6.11 or later, compiled with profiling support
- GTK+ 2.6
- libglade 2.5
It is known to work out the box on Fedora Core 4.
