proc_sys_parser

This crate provides routines for parsing linux /proc files into Rust structs.

There are multiple other crates doing this, but these either do not choose to process the statistics in way to make them directly usable, or generalize the statistics and loose the detail.

Usage

In order to use this crate with your own repository, either add the proc_sys_parser crate to your Cargo.toml, or run cargo add proc_sys_parser.

Currently, only two /proc files are processed:

/proc/stat

The processor of /proc/stat reads the CLK_TCK setting and transforms the jiffies of the cpu times into milliseconds.

Here is an example obtaining the data from /proc/stat:

use proc_sys_parser::{stat, stat::{ProcStat, CpuStat}};

let proc_stat = stat::read();

println!("{:#?}", proc_stat);

Example output:

ProcStat {
    cpu_total: CpuStat { name: "cpu", user: 8570, nice: 0, system: 7530, idle: 1710040, iowait: 2780, irq: 0, softirq: 150, steal: 0, guest: 0, guest_nice: 0 },

/proc/schedstat

The statistics in /proc/schedstat, which are the cpu line scheduler running and waiting statistics in fields 7 and 8 are shown in jiffies up to kernel 2.6.23/commit 425e0968a25, and in nanoseconds after that.

That means that most current systems should be using a kernel version that shows this time in nanoseconds.

Here is an example obtaining the data from /proc/schedstat:

use proc_sys_parser::{schedstat, schedstat::ProcSchedStat};

let proc_schedstat = schedstat::read();

println!("{:#?}", proc_schedstat);

Example output:

cpu vector

!! Please mind that the vector with cpu statistics takes the cpu number as the first field in the vector.

This means that the fields 7 (running on cpu time) and 8 (waiting on cpu runtime) are fields 8 and 9 in the vector.

domain vector

!!Please mind that the vector with domain statistics takes the domain number as the first field in the vector, and the cpumask as the second field.

This means the numbers with the description for the fields in the kernel documentation https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/scheduler/sched-stats.txt has to be increased by two to get the right statistic number in the vector.

/proc/meminfo

The processor of /proc/meminfo reads the values for the memory areas specified in the file. The values are in kilobytes (kB), just like the values in the original /proc/meminfo file.

Here is an example obtaining the data from /proc/meminfo:

use proc_sys_parser::{meminfo, meminfo::ProcMemInfo};

let proc_meminfo = meminfo::read();

println!("{:#?}", proc_meminfo);

/proc/diskstats

The processor of /proc/diskstats reads the statistics for the block devices. The amount of data is in sectors, which are documented as hard coded to 512 bytes per sector in the linux kernel.

use proc_sys_parser::{diskstats, diskstats::ProcDiskStats};

let proc_diskstats = diskstats::read();

println!("{:#?}", proc_diskstats);

Example output:
