<title>Memory Information Module</title>

299

300

<para>This module displays the current memory usage. It is updated

301

constantly, and can be very useful for pinpointing bottlenecks when certain

302

applications are executed.</para>

303

304

305

<title>Memory Types</title>

306

307

<para>The first thing you must understand, is there are two types of

308

<quote>memory</quote>, available to the operating system and the programs

309

that run within it.</para>

310

311

<para>The first type, is called physical memory. This is the memory located

312

within the memory chips, within your computer. This is the

313

<acronym>RAM</acronym> (for Random Access Memory) you bought when you

314

purchased your computer.</para>

315

316

<para>The second type of memory, is called virtual or swap memory. This

317

block of memory, is actually space on the hard drive. The operating

318

system reserves a space on the hard drive for <quote>swap space</quote>.

319

The operating system can use this virtual memory (or swap space), if it

320

runs out of physical memory. The reason this is called

321

<quote>swap</quote> memory, is the operating system takes some data that

322

it doesn't think you will want for a while, and saves that to disk in

323

this reserved space. The operating system then loads the new data you

324

need right now. It has <quote>swapped</quote> the not needed data, for

325

the data you need right now. Virtual or swap memory is not as fast as

326

physical memory, so operating systems try to keep data (especially often

327

used data), in the physical memory.</para>

328

329

<para>The total memory, is the combined total of physical memory and

330

virtual memory.</para>

<para>Does your computer have plenty of free space (green areas)? If

not, you can increase the swap size or increase the physical

memory.</para>

363

364

<para>Also, if your computer seems sluggish: is your physical memory

365

full, and does the hard drive always seem to be running? This suggests

366

that you do not have enough physical memory, and your computer is

367

relying on the slower virtual memory for commonly used data. Increasing

your physical memory will improve the responsiveness of your

<title>Samba Status Information Module</title>

640

641

<para>The Samba and <acronym>NFS</acronym> Status Monitor is a front end

642

to the programs <command>smbstatus</command> and

643

<command>showmount</command>. Smbstatus reports on current Samba

644

connections, and is part of the suite of Samba tools, which implements

645

the <acronym>SMB</acronym> (Session Message Block) protocol, also called

646

the NetBIOS or LanManager protocol.</para>

647

648

<para>This protocol can be used to provide printer sharing or drive

649

sharing services on a network including machines running the various

650

flavors of &Microsoft; &Windows;.</para>

651

652

<para><command>showmount</command> is part of the <acronym>NFS</acronym>

653

software package. <acronym>NFS</acronym> stands for Network File System

654

and is the traditional &UNIX; way to share folders over the

655

network. In this case the output of <command>showmount</command>

656

<option>-a localhost</option> is parsed. On some systems showmount is in

657

<filename class="directory">/usr/sbin</filename>, check if you have

658

showmount in your <envar>PATH</envar>.</para>

<title>Exports</title>

662

663

<para>On this page you can see a big list which shows the currently

664

active connections to Samba shares and <acronym>NFS</acronym> exports of

665

your machine. The first column shows you whether the resource is a Samba

666

(<acronym>SMB</acronym>) share or a <acronym>NFS</acronym> export. The

667

second column contains the name of the share, the third the name of the

668

remote host, which accesses this share. The remaining columns have only

669

a meaning for Samba-shares.</para>

670

671

<para>The fourth column contains the User <abbrev>ID</abbrev> of the

672

user, who accesses this share. Note that this does not have to be equal

673

to the &UNIX; user <abbrev>ID</abbrev> of this user. The same applies

674

for the next column, which displays the group <abbrev>ID</abbrev> of the

675

user.</para>

676

677

<para>Each connection to one of your shares is handled by a single

678

process (<command>smbd</command>), the next column shows the process

679

<abbrev>ID</abbrev> (<acronym>pid</acronym>) of this

680

<command>smbd</command>. If you kill this process the connected user

681

will be disconnected. If the remote user works from &Windows;, as soon

682

as this process is killed a new one will be created, so he will almost

683

not notice it.</para>

684

685

<para>The last column shows how many files this user has currently open.

686

Here you see only, how many files he has <emphasis>open</emphasis> just

687

now, you don't see how many he copied or formerly opened &etc;</para>

<para> Here you see which Samba- and <acronym>NFS</acronym>-shares from

695

other hosts are mounted on your local system. The first column shows

696

whether it is a Samba- or <acronym>NFS</acronym>-share, the second column

697

displays the name of the share, and the third shows where it is

698

mounted.</para>

<para>This page presents the contents of your local samba log file in a

710

nice way. If you open this page, the list will be empty. You have to

711

press the <guibutton>Update</guibutton> button, then the samba log file

712

will be read and the results displayed. Check whether the samba log file

713

on your system is really at the location as specified in the input

714

line. If it is somewhere else or if it has another name, correct

715

it. After changing the file name you have to press

716

<guibutton>Update</guibutton> again.</para>

717

718

<para>Samba logs its actions according to the log level (see

719

<filename>smb.conf</filename>). If loglevel = 1, samba logs only when

720

somebody connects to your machine and when this connection is closed

721

again. If log level = 2, it logs also if somebody opens a file and if he

722

closes the file again. If the log level is higher than 2, yet more

723

stuff is logged.</para>

724

725

<para>If you are interested in who accesses your machine, and which

726

files are accessed, you should set the log level to 2 and regularly

727

create a new samba log file (&eg; set up a <command>cron</command> task

728

which once a week moves your current samba log file into another

729

folder or something like that). Otherwise your samba log file may

730

become very big.</para>

731

732

<para>With the four checkboxes below the big list you can decide, which

733

events are displayed in the list. You have to press

734

<guibutton>Update</guibutton> to see the results. If the log level of

735

your samba is too low, you won't see everything.</para>

<guilabel>Show expanded host info</guilabel> and press

759

which matches the wildcard <literal>*</literal>, how many connections

760

were opened by him.</para>

enable <guilabel>Show expanded service info</guilabel> and press

<guibutton>Update</guibutton> again.</para>

767

768

<para>Now you will see how often every single file was accessed. If you

769

enable <guilabel>Show expanded host info</guilabel> too, you will see

770

how often every single user opened each file.</para>

771

772

<para>In the input lines <guilabel>Service/File</guilabel> and

773

<guilabel>Host/User</guilabel> you can use the wildcards

774

<literal>*</literal> and <literal>?</literal> in the same way you use

775

them at the command line. Regular expressions are not

776

recognized.</para>

777

778

<para>By clicking on the header of a column you can sort the list by

779

this column. This way you can check out which file was opened most

780

often, or which user opened the most files or whatever.</para>
