After a fair share of improvements and plugins, including plugins to monitor Dstat's own performance, it was time to get another release out of the door. Last week I updated the documentation and manpage, and this week Dstat 0.7.2 saw the light.

Here is a list of the most important features:

• Added support for CCISS and KVM virtio block devices
• Various new plugins:
  • --disk-tps: I/O transactions per seconde
  • --squid: squid statistics
  • --top-bio-adv: advanced block I/O stats
  • --top-cpu-adv: advanced CPU stats
  • --top-io-adv: advanced I/O stats
  • --top-int: top interrupt
• Best effort /proc integer overflow handling
• Documentation improvements
• Dstat performance improvements and plugins
  • --dstat-cpu: Dstat's CPU stats
  • --dstat-ctxt: Dstat's context switches
  • --dstat-mem: Dstat's memory usage
• Dstat plugin infrastructure improvements
