How to Install and Use iostat on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
iostat also known as input/output statistics is a popular Linux system monitoring tool that can be used to collect statistics of input and output devices. It allows users to identify performance issues of local disk, remote disk and system information. The iostat create reports, the CPU Utilization report, the Device Utilization report and the Network Filesystem report.
|
|
|
|
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install iostat on Ubuntu 16.04 and how to use it.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisite
|
|
|
|
* Ubuntu 16.04 desktop installed on your system.
|
|
* Non-root user with sudo privileges setup on your system
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install iostat
|
|
|
|
By default, iostat is included with sysstat package in Ubuntu 16.04. You can easily install it by just running the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install sysstat -y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once sysstat is installed, you can proceed to the next step.
|
|
|
|
### iostat Basic Example
|
|
|
|
Let's start by running the iostat command without any argument. This will displays information about the CPU usage, and I/O statistics of your system:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
iostat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see the following output:
|
|
```
|
|
Linux 3.19.0-25-generic (Ubuntu-PC) Saturday 16 December 2017 _x86_64_ (4 CPU)
|
|
|
|
avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle
|
|
22.67 0.52 6.99 1.88 0.00 67.94
|
|
|
|
Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn
|
|
sda 15.15 449.15 119.01 771022 204292
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the above output, the first line display, Linux kernel version and hostname. Next two lines displays CPU statistics like, average CPU usage, percentage of time the CPU were idle and waited for I/O response, percentage of waiting time of virtual CPU and the percentage of time the CPU is idle. Next two lines displays the device utilization report like, number of blocks read and write per second and total block reads and write per second.
|
|
|
|
By default iostat displays the report with current date. If you want to display the current time, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
iostat -t
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see the following output:
|
|
```

### iostat Advance Usage Example
|
|
|
|
If you want to view only the device report only once, run the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
iostat -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see the following output:
