SYNOPSIS

use Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats;
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats->new;
$lxs->init;
sleep 1;
my $stat = $lxs->get;

Or

    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats->new(initfile => $file);
    $lxs->init;
    my $stat = $lxs->get;

DESCRIPTION

Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats gathers paging and swapping statistics from the virtual /proc filesystem (procfs).

For more information read the documentation of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux.

PAGING AND SWAPPING STATISTICS

Generated by /proc/stat or /proc/vmstat.

    pgpgin      -  Number of pages the system has paged in from disk per second.
    pgpgout     -  Number of pages the system has paged out to disk per second.
    pswpin      -  Number of pages the system has swapped in from disk per second.
    pswpout     -  Number of pages the system has swapped out to disk per second.
    The following statistics are only available by kernels from 2.6.
    pgfault     -  Number of page faults the system has made per second (minor + major).
    pgmajfault  -  Number of major faults per second the system required loading a memory page from disk.

METHODS

new()

Call "new()" to create a new object.

    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats->new;

Maybe you want to store/load the initial statistics to/from a file:

    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/pgswstats.yml');

If you set "initfile" it's not necessary to call sleep before "get()".

It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.

     Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats->new(
        files => {
            # This is the default
            path   => '/proc',
            stat   => 'stat',
            vmstat => 'vmstat',
        }
    );

init()

Call "init()" to initialize the statistics.

    $lxs->init;

get()

Call "get()" to get the statistics. "get()" returns the statistics as a hash reference.

    my $stat = $lxs->get;

raw()

Get raw values.
