Use the following (small) c program which will generate an xml feeed with pretty much everything you need to know about each machine.. very easy to parse to see which is "fastest" / etc.
The output looks like this : http://dev1.netkinetics.net/xmlpulse/xmlpulse.xml The source itself is here http://dev1.netkinetics.net/xmlpulse/xmlpulse.c Easily modified to spit out variables in such a way that a shell script can simply import them, you'd need to use a language that allowed nested arrays should you want to include the network info. To use it, just call it via ssh with a key-pair setup (or your favorite rpc method). It was written to emulate the popular phpsysinfo script .. this does well running every minute via cron , i.e. /usr/sbin/xmlpulse > /var/www/htdocs/status/status.xml gcc -o /usr/sbin/xmlpulse xmlpulse.c && strip /usr/sbin/xmlpulse to compile, resulting binary is only 7.8k .. very handy :) PHP compiled typically with gd and friends is 12M. A note, "Loadprec" is the 1 5 and 15 minute loads as found, # of processes in queue verses cpu time spent on each, a little more precise than 1.23 0.01, but both are outputted for ease. Its just the value before dividing by 65536 to get the human readable averages. Since this was built for cluster monitoring, that precision is needed as a tie breaker to determine the fastest node. Better explained by this code snippet : printf( " <loadprec>%.1d %.1d %.1d</loadprec>\n", s_info.loads[0], s_info.loads[1], s_info.loads[2] ); printf( " <loadavg>%.2f %.2f %.2f</loadavg>\n", (float)s_info.loads[0] / 65536, (float)s_info.loads[1] / 65536, (float)s_info.loads[2] / 65536 ); Bash loves whole numbers, so I put the floats in another tag. Made sense. loadprec is the tag you'd be most interested in along with swap. When coupled with lighttpd + ssl it makes a great network monitor that doesn't consume much in the way of resources. Just have 1 management server collect the data each minute from your "hive" so you can make automated decisions centrally. Parse XML with your favorite xml parser :) Hope you find it useful. I have a *ton* of tools we're very shortly going to be donating to the public domain via this list that solve these sorts of problems. All were developed and in use on Debian systems, so I figured this list is the best place to "let them out" for testing and adoption.
