I'm new to this forum and wanted to take a minute to introduce folks to a performance monitoring tool I developed almost 5 years ago and released to the open source community about a year ago. It combines the best of a lot of existing tools and adds additional features I've yet to see in others such as monitoring for Slabs, Infiniband, Quadrics, Lustre and Interrupts by CPU just to mention a few. Today I released a new version that also lets you watch your top processes sorted by I/O use.
The key point is while a lot of tools can do a lot of these, none of them can do all it it and present the results in an integrated format. But don't take my word for it, check out http://collectl.sourceforge.net/. There is a page that lists collectl's features and in the documentation section I've tried to include a lot of examples and details on specific components like interrupt or process monitoring.
But one of the more important reasons for posting this note is to get more feedback from the Ubuntu community since I really haven't done much with this distro and I want to make sure collectl meets the community's needs. So by all means kick the tires and let me know what you think.
