VMSTAT(8) System Administration VMSTAT(8)
NAME
vmstat - Report virtual memory statistics[n. 统计;统计学;[统计] 统计资料]
SYNOPSIS
vmstat [options] [delay [count]]
DESCRIPTION
vmstat reports information about processes, memory, paging, block IO, traps[软中断], disks and cpu activity.
The first report produced gives averages[平均值] since the last reboot. Additional[adj. 附加的,额外的] reports give information on a sampling[n. 取样;抽样]
period of length delay. The process and memory reports are instantaneous[瞬间的;即时的;猝发的] in either case.
OPTIONS
delay The delay between updates in seconds. If no delay is specified, only one report is printed with the average
values since boot.
count Number of updates. In absence of count, when delay is defined, default is infinite[n. 无限;[数] 无穷大;无限的东西(如空间,时间)].
-a, --active
Display active and inactive[不活跃的;不活动的;怠惰的;闲置的] memory, given a 2.5.41 kernel or better.
-f, --forks
The -f switch displays the number of forks since boot. This includes the fork, vfork, and clone system
calls, and is equivalent[等价的,相等的;同意义的] to the total number of tasks created. Each process is represented by one or more
tasks, depending on thread usage[使用,用法,惯例]. This display does not repeat.
-m, --slabs
Displays slab info.
-n, --one-header
Display the header only once rather than periodically[adv. 定期地;周期性地;偶尔;间歇].
-s, --stats
Displays a table of various event counters and memory statistics[统计,统计学]. This display does not repeat.
-d, --disk
Report disk statistics (2.5.70 or above required).
-D, --disk-sum
Report some summary statistics about disk activity.
-p, --partition device
Detailed statistics about partition (2.5.70 or above required).
-S, --unit character
Switches outputs between 1000 (k), 1024 (K), 1000000 (m), or 1048576 (M) bytes.
Note this does not change the swap (si/so) or block (bi/bo) fields.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help and exit.

NOTES
vmstat does not require special permissions.
These reports are intended to help identify system bottlenecks[瓶颈(bottleneck的复数)]. Linux vmstat does not count itself as a running
process.
All linux blocks are currently 1024 bytes. Old kernels may report blocks as 512 bytes, 2048 bytes, or 4096 bytes.
Since procps 3.1.9, vmstat lets you choose units (k, K, m, M). Default is K (1024 bytes) in the default mode.
vmstat uses slabinfo 1.1

BUGS
Does not tabulate[vt. 使成平面;把…制成表格] the block io per device or count the number of system calls.

vmstat是Virtual Memory Statistics(虚拟内存统计)的缩写,可以对操作系统的内存信息,进程状态,CPU活动等进行监视,不足之处是无法对某个进程进行深入分析。
vmstat [-V] [-n] [delay [count]]
各个选项及参数含义如下:
-V 表示打印出版本信息,是可选参数
-n 表示在周期性循环输出时,输出的头部信息仅显示一次
delay 表示两次输出之间的间隔时间
count 表示按照"delay"指定的时间间隔统计的次数,默认为1
例如:
vmstat 3
表示每3秒更新一次输出信息,循环输出,按Ctrl+c停止输出
vmstat 3 5 表示每3秒更新一次输出信息,统计5次后停止输出
输出结果如下:

每项输出的解释如下:
procs
r列表示运行和等待CPU时间片的进程数,这个值如果长期大于系统CPU的个数,说明CPU不足,需要增加CPU
b列表示在等待资源的进程数,比如正在等待I/O或者内存交换
memory
swpd列表表示切换到内存交换区的内存大小(以K为单位)。如果swpd的值不为0,或者比较大,只要si、so的值长期为0,这种情况一般不用担心,不会影响系统性能
free列表示当前空闲的物理内存数量(以KB为单位)
buff 列表示buffers cache 的内存数量,一般对块设备的读写才需要缓冲。
cache 列表示page cached的内存数量,一般作为文件系统进行缓存,频繁访问的文件都会被缓存。如果cache值较大,说明缓存的文件数较多,如果此时io中的bi比较小,说明文件系统效率比较好
swap
si列表示由磁盘调入内存,也就是由内存进入内存交换区的内存大小
so列表示由内存调入磁盘,也就是由内存交换区进入内存的内存大小
在一般情况下,si、so的值都为0,如果si、so的值长期不为0,则表示系统内存不足,需要增加系统内存
io项现实磁盘读写状况
bi列表示从块设备读入数据的总量(即读磁盘)(kb/s)
bo列表示写到块设备的数据总量(即写磁盘)(kb/s)
这里设置的bi+bo参考值为1000,如果超过1000,而且wa值较大,则表示系统磁盘I/O有问题,应该考虑提高磁盘的读写性能。
sys显示采集间隔內发生的中断数
in 列表示在某一时间间隔内观测到的每秒设备中断数
cs 列表示每秒产生的上下文切换次数
上面这两个值越大,由内核消耗的CPU时间越多。
cpu项显示了CPU的使用状态,此列是关注的重点。
us列显示了用户进程消耗的CPU时间百分比。us的值比较高时,说明用户进程消耗的CPU时间多,但是如果长期大于%50,就需要考虑优化程序或者算法。
sy列显示了内核进程消耗的CPU时间百分比。sy的值较高时,说明内核消耗的CPU资源很多
根据经验,us+sy的参考值为80%,如果us+sy大于80%,说明可能存在CPU资源不足。
id列显示了CPU处在空闲状态的时间百分比
wa列显示了IO等待所占用的CPU时间百分比。wa值越高,说明I/O等待越严重,根据经验,wa的参考值为20%,如果超过20%,说明i/o等待严重。引起I/O等待的原因可能是磁盘大量随机读写造成的,也可能是磁盘或者磁盘控制器的带宽瓶颈(主要是块操作)造成的。
综上所述,在对CPU的评估中,需要重点注意procs项中r列和CPU项中的us、sy和id列的值
