=head1 NAME
Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats - Collect linux process statistics.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats;
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new;
$lxs->init;
sleep 1;
my $stat = $lxs->get;
Or
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new(initfile => $file);
$lxs->init;
my $stat = $lxs->get;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats gathers process statistics from the virtual F</proc> filesystem (procfs).
For more information read the documentation of the front-end module L<Sys::Statistics::Linux>.
=head1 IMPORTANT
I renamed key C<procs_blocked> to C<blocked>!
=head1 LOAD AVERAGE STATISTICS
Generated by F</proc/stat> and F</proc/loadavg>.
new - Number of new processes that were produced per second.
runqueue - The number of currently executing kernel scheduling entities (processes, threads).
count - The number of kernel scheduling entities that currently exist on the system (processes, threads).
blocked - Number of processes blocked waiting for I/O to complete (Linux 2.5.45 onwards).
running - Number of processes in runnable state (Linux 2.5.45 onwards).
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new()
Call C<new()> to create a new object.
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new;
Maybe you want to store/load the initial statistics to/from a file:
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/procstats.yml');
If you set C<initfile> it's not necessary to call sleep before C<get()>.
It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.
Sys::Statistics::Linux::ProcStats->new(
files => {
# This is the default
path => '/proc',
loadavg => 'loadavg',
stat => 'stat',
}
);
=head2 init()
Call C<init()> to initialize the statistics.
$lxs->init;
=head2 get()
Call C<get()> to get the statistics. C<get()> returns the statistics as a hash reference.
my $stat = $lxs->get;
=head2 raw()
Get raw values.
=head1 EXPORTS
No exports.
