bla{{Note|This article is obsoleted, please use {{Man|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: <pre>BEANS FOR UID 254resource held maxheld barrier limit failcntkmemsize 15.14 mb 18.72 mb 150.30 mb 167.00 mb 0lockedpages 0 0 16.00 mb 16.00 mb 0privvmpages 433.79 mb 544.63 mb 2929.69 mb 3222.66 mb 0shmpages 11.58 mb 11.64 mb 512.00 mb 512.00 mb 0numproc 84 101 500 500 0physpages 278.24 mb 395.75 mb 0 unlimited 0vmguarpages 0 0 244.14 mb unlimited 0oomguarpages 279.66 mb 396.98 mb 122.07 mb unlimited 0numtcpsock 25 53 500 500 0numflock 18 22 200 220 0numpty 4 4 64 64 0numsiginfo 0 11 512 512 0tcpsndbuf 569.75 kb 679.25 kb 5.12 mb 10.00 mb 0tcprcvbuf 400.00 kb 1.28 mb 5.12 mb 10.00 mb 0othersockbuf 213.00 kb 284.25 kb 1.43 mb 3.88 mb 0dgramrcvbuf 0.00 kb 8.25 kb 256.00 kb 256.00 kb 0numothersock 155 175 500 500 0dcachesize 619.68 kb 656.68 kb 4.00 mb 4.12 mb 0numfile 2008 2397 9312 9312 0numiptent 10 10 128 128 0</pre> The script is the following, just copy and paste:<source lang=perl>#!/usr/bin/perl ################################################################################ vzstats.pl## this script reads /proc/user_beancounters on openvz HNs and VEs and displays# the values in human-readable format (megabytes/kilobytes).## The script can be distributed freely for everybody who finds it usable.## Christian Anton <mail |_at_| christiananton.de> 2008-09-18 open(BEANS,"/proc/user_beancounters");chomp ($arch = `uname -m`); sub check_maxulong { my $number = shift; if ($arch eq "x86_64") { if ($number == 9223372036854775807) { return 1; } else { return undef; } } else { if ($number == 2147483647) { return 1; } else { return undef; } }} sub recalc_bytes { my $bytes = shift; if (defined(&check_maxulong($bytes))) { return "unlimited"; } my $kbytes = $bytes / 1024; my $ret; # if over 1mb, show mb values if ($kbytes > 1024) { my $mbytes = $kbytes / 1024; $ret = sprintf("%.2f", $mbytes) .
