I am having a hard time determining what the output of systat -mbufs is
giving me. Here is the output I am getting:
/0 /1 /2 /3 /4 /5 /6 /7 /8 /9 /10
Load Average |
/0 /5 /10 /15 /20 /25 /30 /35 /40 /45 /50 /55 /60
data XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 172
headers XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
free XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 2235
What are the "headers"? What specifically does "data" represent? I
tried "man systat" and this is all that the mbufs section is coughing up:
<SNIP>
mbufs Display, in the lower window, the number of mbufs allocated
for particular uses, i.e. data, socket structures, etc.
</SNIP>
As a bit of a newbie, this doesn't really tell me much. Anyone know what
the output represents, or how it can be interpreted? What is a "red flag"
condition? Thanks!
