Human readable user beancounters
Note: This article is obsoleted, please use vzubc(8) that comes with vzctl |
For newbies to openvz it is fairly difficult to understand the meaning of the numbers in /proc/user_beancounters file. Calculating the values to something understandable for human brain everytime you look at these statistics is much work. I have written a perl script which reformats the output to human-readable values in kbyte and mbyte.
Just be sure you have Perl installed on your HN/VE, copy this script to somewhere on your machine, give it executable rights and start it. The output will be like this:
BEANS FOR UID 254 resource held maxheld barrier limit failcnt kmemsize 15.14 mb 18.72 mb 150.30 mb 167.00 mb 0 lockedpages 0 0 16.00 mb 16.00 mb 0 privvmpages 433.79 mb 544.63 mb 2929.69 mb 3222.66 mb 0 shmpages 11.58 mb 11.64 mb 512.00 mb 512.00 mb 0 numproc 84 101 500 500 0 physpages 278.24 mb 395.75 mb 0 unlimited 0 vmguarpages 0 0 244.14 mb unlimited 0 oomguarpages 279.66 mb 396.98 mb 122.07 mb unlimited 0 numtcpsock 25 53 500 500 0 numflock 18 22 200 220 0 numpty 4 4 64 64 0 numsiginfo 0 11 512 512 0 tcpsndbuf 569.75 kb 679.25 kb 5.12 mb 10.00 mb 0 tcprcvbuf 400.00 kb 1.28 mb 5.12 mb 10.00 mb 0 othersockbuf 213.00 kb 284.25 kb 1.43 mb 3.88 mb 0 dgramrcvbuf 0.00 kb 8.25 kb 256.00 kb 256.00 kb 0 numothersock 155 175 500 500 0 dcachesize 619.68 kb 656.68 kb 4.00 mb 4.12 mb 0 numfile 2008 2397 9312 9312 0 numiptent 10 10 128 128 0
The script is the following, just copy and paste:

Here's a quick patch which adds on VE hostname lookups. It depends on vzlist being in the path but won't break if it isn't.

Quick (and dirty) patch to only display the information of one container (first argument of the script). Usage:

Here is another modified version vzcomits.pl with some caculation addons and consistency checks.
Also every possible value will be stored stored in hashes which makes it easy to add some more calculations.
Additional Output:
